Abstract :
A reliability growth model is an analytic tool that accounts for changes in reliability due to design modifications and other corrective actions taken during the develpment, production, and use of a new piece of equipment. This paper describes a simulation study, and its conclusions, comparing four general reliability growth models that have been proposed in the reliability literature. Details of the simulation results are available in a separate Supplement.
