Reliability & Maintenance Examples

Reliability and maintenance models track how equipment degrades and the chance of breakdown. They illustrate how service schedules and upkeep budgets keep systems running.

Tweak failure rates or maintenance intervals to see how downtime accumulates. The examples range from simple service queues to antifragile machines, revealing when proactive care beats waiting for a breakdown.
