This paper considers the periodic preventive maintenance model for a repairable system following warranty expiration. We consider three types of warranty policies: free repair warranty, pro-rata repair warranty, and combination repair warranty. Under these preventive maintenance models, we derive the expressions for the expected cycle length, the total expected cost, and the expected cost rate per unit time. In addition, we explain the optimal preventive maintenance period and the optimal preventive maintenance number by minimizing the expected cost rate per unit time. Finally, the optimal periodic preventive maintenance policy is given for a Weibull distribution case.

In this paper we present the optimal replacement policies following the expiration of combination warranty. We consider two types of combination warranty policies: renewing warranty and non-renewing warranty. The criterion used to determine the optimal replacement period is the expected cost rate per unit time from the user'perspective. The optimal maintenance period following the expiration of combination warranty is obtained. Some numerical examples are presented for illustrative purpose.

본 논문에서는 혼합보증기간이 있는 수리 가능한 시스템에 대한 최적의 교체정책을 제안한다. 이 교체정책은 보증기간이 재생되는 경우와 재생되지 않는 두 가지 경우에 대해서 고려되며, 최적의 교체주기를 결정하기 위해서 사용자 관점에서의 단위 시간당 기대비용을 사용한다. 시스템의 고장시간이 와이블 분포를 할 때 수치적 예를 통해서 제안된 최적의 교체정책을 설명한다.

This paper considers the replacement model and the preventive maintenance model following the expiration of combination warranty for a repairable system. If the system fails after the combination warranty is expired, then it is minimally repaired at each failure. The criterion used to determine the optimal replacement policy and the optimal preventive maintenance policy is the overall value function based on the expected cost rate per unit time and the expected downtime per unit time. The numerical examples are presented for illustrative purpose when the failure time follows a Weibull distribution.
