background: nowadays medical equipment plays an important role in the treatment and in the medical education. using outdated preventive maintenance (pm) system may cause problems in the cutting edge medical equipment, nervous system disease’s equipment (in diagnosis and treatment) which are crucial for every medical center. based on above facts we focused on nervous system treat units’ equipmen...

In general, a complex system is composed of different components that are usually subject to maintenance policy. We take into account systems containing under both preventive and corrective maintenance. Preventive considered as failure-based model, where full renewal realized after the occurrence every nth failure. It offers an imperfect each repair deteriorates component or lifetime, probabili...

This paper develops a maintenance strategy for repairable products that combines imperfect maintenance actions at pre-scheduled times and minimal repair actions for failures. Under a power law process of failures, an expected total cost is developed that involves the sum of the total cost of imperfect preventive maintenances and the expected total cost of minimal repairs. Moreover, a searching ...

In this article we develop a model to help a maintenance decision-making situation of a given equipment. We propose a novel model to determine optimal life-cycle duration and intervals between overhauls by minimizing global maintenance costs. We consider a situation where the customer, which owns the equipment, may negotiate a better warranty contract by offering an improved preventive maintena...

A system subject to degradation is considered. The modelled by a gamma process. condition-based maintenance policy with perfect corrective and an imperfect preventive actions proposed. cost derived considering Markov-renewal statistical inference of the parameters maximum likelihood method investigated. sensibility analysis different carried out perspectives are detailed.

In this paperwe present a general framework for themodelling of the process of corrective and condition-based preventive maintenance actions for complex repairable systems. A new class of models is proposed, the generalized virtual age models. On the one hand, these models generalize Kijima’s virtual age models to the case where both preventive and corrective maintenances are present. On the ot...

This study applies periodic preventive maintenance (PM) to economic production quantity (EPQ) model for a randomly failing production process having a deteriorating production system with increasing hazard rate: minimal repaired and reworked upon failure (out of control state). The minimal repair performs restorations and returns the system to an operating state (in-control state). It is assume...

Production, maintenance, and quality are often modeled as separate problems, despite the strong link that exists between these primary components of any manufacturing system. This paper deals with an integrated approach for the joint optimization of production-inventory control and preventive maintenance policy for a manufacturing cell comprising an imperfect process where the ‘in-control’ peri...
