Reliability Engineering for Industrial Processes: An Analytics Perspective

本書探討了新時代經濟所帶來的轉型變革如何改善公司的工程和製造能力。

新時代經濟由先進的工程和製造實踐、流程和技術驅動，包括物聯網（IoT）、雲計算、區塊鏈、人工智能、機器人技術、物理系統（CPS）和互聯網使工業流程自動化的系統。

當今的商業動態受到不確定性、干擾、複雜性和模糊性的影響，要求更快速和更智能的決策。這些變化可能帶來公司工程和製造能力的復興。為了應對這些多變且不斷變化的商業動態，工業4.0和5.0已經徹底改變了組織運作和智能商業決策的方式。此外，商業分析的廣泛應用通過新技術和智能計算方法克服了傳統計算的局限性。

在過去幾年中，人們非常重視投資於開發硬件和編程框架，以實現使用模糊邏輯、進化計算、神經網絡、概率方法和學習理論的計算智能。在這個框架下，複雜工業和製造系統的可靠性、質量和維護對於組織成功利用它們進行明智決策至關重要。

本書重點研究提供了使用定量和定性研究為系統可靠性、質量、安全性和可維護性提供新解決方案的研究。它強調系統工程管理、系統集成、軟件和硬件工程以及開發過程中的發展和問題。
