Reliability Engineering for Industrial Processes: An Analytics Perspective
暫譯: 工業流程的可靠性工程：分析視角

本書探討新時代經濟驅動的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、流程及技術驅動，包括物聯網 (IoT)、雲端運算、區塊鏈、人工智慧、機器人技術、網路物理系統 (CPS) 以及用於自動化工業流程的網路系統。

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，這要求企業做出更快且更智能的決策。這些變化可能與公司工程和製造能力的復興有關。為了維持這些不穩定且不斷變化的商業動態，工業 4.0 和 5.0 徹底改變了組織的運作方式及其智能商業決策的制定。此外，商業分析的廣泛角色通過新技術和智能計算方法克服了傳統計算的限制。

在過去幾年中，對於投資開發硬體和程式框架以實現計算智能的重視程度大幅提升，這些技術包括模糊邏輯、演化計算、神經網路、機率方法和學習理論。在這一框架下，複雜的工業和製造系統的可靠性、質量和維護對於組織成功利用這些系統以做出明智決策至關重要。

本書專注於提供系統可靠性、質量、安全性和可維護性的新解決方案的研究，這些研究使用定量和定性的方法。它強調系統工程管理、系統整合、軟體和硬體工程以及開發過程中的發展和問題。
