Conclusion

Carrying out an operational safety study on complex industrial systems involves mastering numerous concepts relating to the notions of reliability, maintainability, availability and safety.

Since the time of occurrence of a failure is by definition random, it is essential to use probability calculations, and statistical and stochastic estimation methods based on feedback data. These make it possible to define the metrics needed to calculate life-cycle costs, total cost of ownership and integrated logistical support. The new regulatory constraints imposed on manufacturers in terms of technological risks have led them to use specific risk management tools and methods. These involve the implementation of technical and organizational barriers that take into account human reliability. Ongoing progress in the field of artificial intelligence is opening up new prospects...
