Abstract: Abstract In this paper, the functional check task specified in reliability-centred maintenance (RCM) is discussed and a general cost model under the assumption of a non-decreasing degradation process is established to jointly optimise the threshold of potential failure and inspection intervals to minimise the expected operating cost per unit time. A gamma process is used to describe a random wear degradation process and illustrate the model.
