Selective maintenance for multi-state series–parallel systems under economic dependence

Maintenance optimisation of a multi-state series-parallel system considering economic dependence and state-dependent inspection intervals

This paper presents a maintenance optimisation method for a multi-state seriesparallel system considering economic dependence and state-dependent inspection intervals. The objective function considered in the paper is the average revenue per unit time calculated based on the semi-regenerative theory and the universal generating function (UGF). A new algorithm using the stochastic ordering is al...

Optimization of imperfect preventive maintenance for multi-state systems

The paper generalizes a preventive maintenance optimization problem to multi-state systems, which have a range of performance levels. Multi-state system reliability is defined as the ability to satisfy given demand. The reliability of system elements is characterized by their hazard functions. The possible preventive maintenance actions are characterized by their ability to affect the effective...

Component-based predictive maintenance modeling for multi-state systems

Component-level predictive maintenance schedules are developed to maximize multi-state system lifetime, considering degrading component multi-state behavior. To maximize the system time-to-replacement, the predictive maintenance schedule is based on individual component performance degradation trends, system performance requirements and component maintenance thresholds. This work is an extensio...

An integrated production and preventive maintenance planning model with imperfect maintenance in multi-state system

Production planning and maintenance are two important problems in manufacturing systems. Despite the relationship exists between these two problems due to sudden failures and production capacity occupied by maintenance activities, each of these problems planned separately and as a result program and model efficiencies reduce in the real world. The aim of integrated production and maintena...
