Abstract
Reliability is an integral part of the planning, design, and operation of engineering systems, ranging from the smallest and simplest to the largest and most complex. The failure of any system can disrupt the ongoing processes of people and equipment associated with it, which in some cases is considered a serious threat to the community. Therefore, this study first aims to identify all industrial engineering techniques that can be effective in improving reliability and to prioritize these techniques across all phases of the product life cycle using the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). Subsequently, using the Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM), the cause-and-effect relationships among the techniques in each phase are determined, providing a systematic framework to enhance equipment reliability and to understand and develop the relationships between reliability and other industrial engineering techniques.
