Preface :

Any industry is continuously modifying its processes, its organization and its management to cater for new problems. These modifications are part of the day-to-day job as long as these new problems look like the steps of a staircase. This approach is no longer valid if these new problems look like a wall: new equipment,new techniques, new principles, etc., are to be implemented.

Reliability engineering  emerged as an answer to some of these problems along the years; it finds its roots as a new discipline on the fact that “at the beginning of the Korean War about 70% of  Navy electronic gear did not operate properly” [KEC 02]. Reliability engineering  soon became part of the equipment development programs in the defense industry and in the civil nuclear industry, with an emphasis on safety performances.
