In many cases, redundant systems are beset by both independent and dependent failures. Ignoring dependent variables in MTBF evaluation of redundant systems hastens the occurrence of failure, causing it to take place before the expected time, hence decreasing safety and creating irreversible...

"This book provides instructions to enhance productivity and sustainability by using Quality Engineering Techniques (QET) in statistical and non-statistical projects. It presents an integrated format for better management of traditional processes in industrial factories"--

This research developed an approach to reliable team formation and supplier network design, focusing on a multi-objective model integrating fuzzy-set theory and social network analysis. The approach simultaneously focuses on reliable collaboration network, order allocation, capabilities (skills,...
