Modified discrete preventive maintenance policies

Naval Research Logistics Quarterly, 1986, vol. 33, issue 4, 703-715

Abstract: This article proposes a modified preventive maintenance (PM) policy which may be done only at scheduled times nT (n = 1,2, …): The PM is done at the next such time if and only if the total number of failures exceeds a specified number k. The optimal number k* to minimize the expected cost rate is discussed. Further, four alternative similar PM models are considered, when the system fails due to a certain number of faults, uses, shocks, and unit failures.
