Abstract

With the growing technology and complexity of engineering systems, the importance of reliability and maintainability has increased in multifarious ways. This is very important in the process industries that are characterized by the advanced and extortionate equipment along with the rigorous environmental constraints. In order to achieve the high system availability and to utilize maximum plant capacity, it is important that its various units should work effectively and efficiently for a longer period of time, and hence it becomes important to give proper care to all the operating equipment. Different approaches like genetic algorithm, fault tree analysis, failure mode and effect analysis, Petri nets, supplementary variable technique, fuzzy Lambda-Tau technique, reliability, availability, maintainability and dependability analysis, degradation modeling techniques etc. are concerned with the performance evaluation of various operating systems in process industries. In the present chapter, the review is done to analyze these approaches in different process industries like sugar, paper, dairy, thermal, chemical, food, etc.
