A graphical procedure for an on-condition maintenance policy: imperfect-inspection model and interpretation

This paper considers on-condition maintenance based on periodicinspection and control of a condition parameter which describesthe wear and deterioration of the productive equipment. We developa model based on delay time and imperfect inspection, and builda graphical procedure to choose the best inspection intervalfor different criteria. The interpretation of this graphicalprocedure allows us to emphasize the factors that are relevantfor inspection decision-making.
