Optimum Maintenance Policy of a Periodically Inspected System under Imperfect Repair
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with the maintenance policy of a system subject to periodical inspections aimed at detecting the occurrence of failures. After the first N−1 failure, the system undergoes an imperfect repair that brings the system back to the operating condition while the Nth failure is followed by a perfect repair restoring the unit to an as-good-as-new condition. The limiting average availability as well as the minimum cost policy are discussed.

Condition-based maintenance under an imperfect repair policy for a deteriorating production system
This paper presents a condition-based maintenance policy taking into account both maintenance cost and production capacity aspects for single unit deterioratin production system whose condition is periodically monitored. Imperfect preventive maintenance activities, which restore the production system to better states and might not be as good as new, are considered. We assume however that the sy...
متن کاملTwo echelon-two indenture extended warranty distribution network under imperfect preventive maintenance policies
Nowadays, offering extended warranty is considered as a lucrative source of income from the perspective of the after-sale service providers. Meanwhile, the main concern is presence or absence of base warranty and strategies adopted by the manufacturer during this period. Moreover, extended warranty structure must be responsive and customer oriented, which not only control the services cost but ...
متن کاملCondition Based Maintenance for Two-Component Systems with Reliability and Cost Considerations
This paper studies a maintenance policy for a system composed of two components, which are subject to continuous deterioration and consequently stochastic failure. The failure of each component results in the failure of the system. The components are inspected periodically and their deterioration degrees are monitored. The components can be maintained using different maintenance actions (repair...
متن کاملCondition Based Maintenance of Periodically Inspected Systems
Condition based maintenance (CBM) is a powerful tool for improvement of system reliability and reduction of system downtime. This research considers CBM under which the system state is periodically observed with or without observational error, and maintenance is imperfect. System availability is maximized by determining the optimal maintenance threshold and the time interval between consecutive...
متن کاملOptimally maintaining a Markovian deteriorating system with limited imperfect repairs
We consider the problem of optimally maintaining a periodically inspected system that deteriorates according to a discrete-time Markov process and has a limit on the number of repairs that can be performed before it must be replaced. After each inspection, a decision maker must decide whether to repair the system, replace it with a new one, or leave it operating until the next inspection, where...
