Abstract: The reliability analysis of the critical components is the basic way to establish the efficiency of complex systems. For this issue, it is very important to select capable methods for service data collection as well as for analysis. The study introduces a framework defining a general approach for Failure Process Modeling (FPM). The paper also discusses the critical role of censored data and the need for a continuous and repetitive application of the proposed approach during the service life of systems.
