Abstract :
Selected published literature on chemical-system reliability is reviewed. The literature is classified into several categories. These categories include: reliability prediction and analysis; reliability/maintenance/safety; risk analysis, control and assessment; fault diagnosis and propagation; failure analysis and prevention; failure data and analysis; reliability optimization; human reliability; application of reliability engineering to process plant industries; availability analysis; and life-cycle cost and economy. The literature is collected mainly from major journals and conference proceedings. An extensive list of references is presented
