Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a specific system, consisting of machines composed of interchangeable parts, and how the system performs when parts fail and must be replaced. The author approaches this through mathematical modeling to assess the effects of a controversial practice called cannibalization, where a failed part in one machine is replaced with a functioning part from another machine. The book examines the practice under different assumptions, including when parts fail independently and when failures may affect other parts. It ultimately quantifies the superiority of cannibalized systems over uncannibalized ones and provides a maintenance index to estimate long-run advantages. Through a series of theorems and supporting data, the author presents a comprehensive analysis of cannibalization's impact on system performance and efficiency. The insights gained contribute to a deeper understanding of maintenance strategies and resource allocation in complex systems.
