Repairable Systems Analysis Through Simulation

Having introduced some of the basic theory and terminology for repairable systems in Chapter 7, we will now examine the steps involved in the analysis of such complex systems. We will begin by examining system behavior through a sequence of discrete deterministic events and expand the analysis using discrete event simulation.
