Abstract: | This study applies periodic preventive maintenance (PM) to a repairable production system with major repairs conducted after a failure. This study considers failed PM due to maintenance workers incorrectly performing PM and damages occurring after PM. Therefore, three PM types are considered: imperfect PM, perfect PM and failed PM. Imperfect PM has the same failure rate as that before PM, whereas perfect PM makes restores the system perfectly. Failed PM results in system deterioration and major repairs are required. The probability that PM is perfect or failed depends on the number of imperfect maintenance operations conducted since the previous renewal cycle. Mathematical formulas for expected total production cost per unit time are generated. Optimum PM time that minimizes cost is derived. Various special cases are considered, including the maintenance learning effect. A numerical example is given. |
