Abstract
For better system performance, attributes such as quality, reliability, maintainability, safety, and risk that are closely related and govern the dependability of the system, must be considered. It is also necessary to understand the inter-relationship between these factors so that one not only minimizes the chances of occurrence of any untoward incident at the design and fabrication stage but also minimizes the chances of occurrences and the consequences of such an event during the system operation and use phase.
