Abstract: Abstract In the previous chapter, the emphasis was made on the burn-in procedures for non-repairable items. If a non-repairable item fails during burn-in, then, obviously, it is just scraped and discarded. However, an expensive, complex product or device will not be discarded on account of failure of its part, but rather a repair will be performed. Therefore, in this chapter, we deal mostly with repairable items. Note that the contents of this chapter are rather technical and it can be skipped by a less mathematically oriented reader.
