Example:We consider the preventive maintenance of a production system that is deteriorated by random shocks and the production process itself. source: link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11518-010-5143-9 | |
| Nov 2, 2018 at 22:22 | comment | added | Shavais | That could be a good answer, I'll give it an up vote. But I guess I think of "deteriorate" as being something which kind of happens over slowly over time and isn't necessarily the result of anything anyone does. | |
