Perhaps the most valuable chapter for modern industry. Instead of waiting for a failure, measure a performance characteristic (e.g., light output of an LED, battery capacity). The book provides statistical models to predict when that characteristic will cross a threshold (failure). The original text touched on Bayesian concepts lightly
