Abstract: | Maintenance of a deteriorating system is often imperfect, withthe state of the system after maintenance being at a level somewherebetween new and its prior condition.In this paper, the conceptof reduction in virtual or effective age is used to model theeffect of both imperfect corrective maintenance (CM) and imperfectpreventive maitnenance (PM). Results from counting-process theorythen produce a likelihood function necessary for parameter estimation,and the method is tested on known maintenance data. Finally,it is shown how to evaluate, by simulation, the expected numberofsystem failures up to time t under a given periodic PM strategy.This measure is incorporated into a cost rate function whichis then minimized to find the optimal length of a PM intervaland the optimal number of PMs to carry out before system replacement |
