Abstract: In this work, a system subject to different deterioration processes is analysed. The arrival of the degradation processes to the system is modelled using a shot-noise Cox process. The degradation processes grow according to an homogeneous gamma process. The system fails when a degradation process exceeds a failure threshold. The combined process of initiation and growth of the degradation processes is modelled and the system reliability is obtained. Heterogeneities are also integrated in the model assuming that the inverse of the scale parameter follows a uniform distribution. A maintenance strategy is implemented in this system and the state of the system is checked in inspection times. If the system is working at inspection time, a preventive replacement is performed if the deterioration level of a degradation process exceeds a certain threshold. A corrective replacement is performed if the system is down at inspection time. Under this maintenance strategy, the expected cost rate is obtained. Sensitivity analysis on the main parameters of the gamma process is performed.
