Abstract
A remaining time to replace can be updated taking into account time variation of a failure mechanism of a device. Starting with an initial remaining time to replace, an effective operating time can be determined periodically based on an operating parameter measured at a tracking interval, and remaining time to replace can be updated by subtracting the effective operating time. The technique can be applied to multiple failure mechanisms and to multiple devices and/or components each having multiple failure mechanisms.
