Preface
Reliability theory is originally to investigate the properties of randomness because most failures occur at random times. Maintenance theory is basically how to protect reliability systems from such failures by effective and practical methods. It has been well-known generally in maintenance theory that (a) preventive replacement should not be done when the failure time is exponential, and (b) optimum replacement is nonrandom [1]. This book is written mainly based on our original work for exploding the above-established theory (a) and (b) under reasonable conditions. I have now already published four monograp
