Abstract

This paper reviews the literature related to reliability modeling and analysis of complex industrial systems. The types of systems analyzed, various operating conditions and assumptions considered, different methodologies employed by the researchers, and the outcomes of the analysis, have been reviewed. The existing literature has been classified on the basis of significant system parameters. Behavior of important reliability indicators with respect to various system parameters has also been discussed. Tabular and graphical study is carried out to demonstrate crucial results. An up-to-date bibliography is presented systematically.

Keywords

regenerative point techniques, reliability, semi-Markov processes
