Sommario/riassunto

This e-book contains selected papers invited/presented in the Asian International Workshop on Advanced Reliability Modeling (AIWARM) which was held in Hiroshima, Japan, August 26-27, 2004. 78 papers from Asian and European area were presented at the workshop. This e-book is intended to share the ideas and results from the workshop with more reliability researchers and practitioners. Various and promising research topics are included; maintenance problems in shock models,



replacement model with spare part provisioning, analysis of system operating data with fuzzy set, new algorithms in redundan

Sommario/riassunto

Throughout the OECD, 30% of the average firm's total labour costs comprises items which are other than direct remuneration. This reissue, first published in 1984, focuses upon these non-wage labour costs, which include; fringe-benefit payments, obligatory social-



welfare contributions, holiday entitlements and expenditures on recruitment and training, seeking to make amends for the woeful lack of consideration given to these important factors in previous wage literature. The book focuses on two major areas of enquiry: firstly, the costs for the cyclical behaviour of employment, and se
