This paper presents a simulation study for military land equipment operational availability (OA). A discrete event simulation model was developed within this study to support the analysis of the effect of several maintenance regimes on OA namely Corrective Maintenance (CM), Scheduled Preventive Maintenance (SPM), and Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM). The model was implemented using the ARENA e...
