Reliability & Maintenance Examples

Reliability and maintenance models track how components degrade and the risk of failure. They highlight the interplay between breakdown probability, repair time, and service schedules.

Experimenting with these scenarios illustrates the tradeoffs of preventive upkeep versus running equipment until it fails. With them you can test how downtime assumptions or spare part availability shift overall performance.
