This paper considers four options of warranty and preventive maintenance policy. The product is repairable and sold with a non-renewing free warranty policy. For products sold with warranty, preventive maintenance (PM) actions by manufacturers and/or buyers have an impact on the total costs for both parties. In this study, we deal with a model to study the effect of PM that carried out by the m...

Most of the existing reliability analysis is based on exponential distribution which is convenient to calculation, whereas most intelligent electronic devices exhibit Weibull distribution. What kind of influence will life distribution have on the reliability and availability of a smart substation? This paper compares the reliability and availability of systems with different life distributions ...

dbstmctTo date, very little work has investigated the benefits of repairable robots. Robots that can repair themselves and other robots in their team are intuitively a superior design. Intuition, however, is not an acceptable basis for spending millions of dollars in development. In this work, we quantify the gain in productivity of a team of repairable robots compared to a team without repair ...

In this article, the intricacies involved in the maintenance of the industrial repairable systems are analyzed. Based on the practical requirement, the mathematical models for repairable system maintenance which are using point process theory are listed and reviewed. The available estimation, inference and prediction methodologies are also listed. The future issues which are to be addressed in ...

This paper proposes a method for ranking decision making units (DMUs) using some of the multiple criteria decision making / multiple attribute decision making          (MCDM /MADM) techniques, namely, interval analytic hierarchy process (IAHP)          and the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS).          Since the efficiency score of unity is assigned to ...
