In this paper, we study an extended warranty model under minimal repair-replacement warranty (MRRW) which is suggested by Park, Jung and Park (2013). Under MRRW policy, the manufacturer is responsible for providing the minimal repair-replacement services upon the system failures during the warranty period. And if the failure occurs during the extended warranty period, only the minimal repair is conducted. Following the expiration of extended warranty, the user is solely responsible for maintaining the system for a fixed length of time period and replaces the system at the end of such a maintenance period. During the maintenance period, only the minimally repair is given for each system failure. The main purpose of this article is to suggest the extended warranty and replacement model with MRRW. Given the cost structures incurred during the life cycle of the system, we formulate the expected cost and the expected length of life cycle to obtain the expected cost rate.

The maintenance effect is a peculiar factor applied to repairable systems such as rolling stocks. Conventional statistical analysis for failure times takes into account one of the two following extreme assumptions, namely, the state of the system after maintenance is either as "good as new" (GAN, perfect maintenance model) or as "bad as old" (BAO, minimal maintenance model). Most of the papers concerning the stochastic behavior of railroad systems assume two types of maintenance: perfect and minimal maintenance. However, Lee, Kim & Lee (2008) analyzed the failure data of a door system in Metro EMU and the effect of preventive maintenance was imperfect. It is seen that the imperfect maintenance is of great significance in practice. This article describes how to deal with the maintenance effect in reliability studies of rolling stocks. Maintenance policies under imperfect maintenance are described and the method is proposed to evaluate their performance.

Proper maintenance techniques have been emphasized in recent years due to increased safety and reliability requirements of systems, increased complexity, and rising costs of material and labor. In the related literature, most studies assume that the system after cm or pm is 'as good as new'(perfect maintenance) or 'as bad as old'(minimal maintenance). But many maintenance activities may not result in these two extreme situations but in a complicated intermediate one. Therefore, perfect maintenance and minimal maintenance are not practical in many actual instances and so realistic imperfect maintenance should be modeled. For this study, various imperfect preventive maintenance models are investigated and analyzed. From the analysis of the imperfect maintenance models modeling methods and maintenance policies are arranged and presented some tables providing informations to the maintenance managers.

Burn-in is a widely used method to eliminate the initial failures. Preventive maintenance policy such as block replacement with minimal repair at failure is often used in field operation. In this, paper burn-in and maintenance policy are taken into consideration at the same time. The cost of a minimal repair is assumed to be a non-decreasing function of its age. The problems of determining optimal burn-in times and optimal maintenance policy are considered.

Maintenance models involving minimal imperfect repair frequently appear in the literature of reliability and operations research. Most of the literatures concerning the stochastic behavior of repairable systems assume that it takes negligible time to repair a failed system and so the length of repair time does not affect the maintenance strategy. It is more realistic to consider the length of repair times in developing maintenance model, however. In this paper, we consider an imperfect repair model with random repair time and investigate some stochastic properties of the number of perfect repairs and the number of minimal repairs. Also we derive the expressions for evaluating the expected numbers of perfect and minimal repairs in general and apply these formulas for certain parametric life distributions.

This paper introduces models for preventive maintenance policies and considers periodic preventive maintenance policy with minimal repair when the failure of system occurs. It is assumed that minimal repairs do not change the failure rate of the system. The failure rate under prevention maintenance received an effect by a previously prevention maintenance and the slope of failure rate increases the model where it considered. Also the start point of failure rate under prevention maintenance considers the degradation of system and that it increases quotient, it assumed. Per unit time it bought an expectation cost from under this prevention maintenance policy. We obtain the optimal periodic time and the number for the periodic preventive maintenance by using Nakagawa's Algorithm, which minimizes the expected cost per unit time.

In this paper, a group replacement policy based on a failure count is analysed. For a group of identical repairable units, a maintenance policy is performed with two phase considerations: a repair interval phase and a waiting interval phase. Each unit undergoes minimal repair at failure during the repair interval. Beyond the interval, no repair is made until a number of failures. The expected cost rate expressions under the policy is derived. A method to obtain the optimal values of decision variables are explored. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the results.

In this paper, we consider a periodic preventive maintenance(PM) policy in which each PM reduces the hazard rate but remains the pattern of hazard rate unchanged. And the system undergoes only minimal repairs at failures between PM's. The expected cost rate per unit time is obtained. The optimal number N of PM and the optimal period x, which minimize the expected cost rate per unit time are discussed. Explicit solutions for the optimal periodic PM are given for the Weibull distribution case.

수리 가능한 시스템의 신뢰성 분석에 중요한 문제 중의 하나는 유지보수 효과를 모델링하는 것이다. 현재까지 많은 연구들은 유지보수 후 시스템의 상태가 새것과 같이 된다는 완전유지보수 또는 유지보수 바로 직전의 상태로 된다는 최소유지보수 모형을 사용하였다. 그러나 국내운영기관에서 시행하는 유지보수 형태는 완전유지보수와 최소유지보수의 사이의 효과를 가지는 불완전유지보수 형태로 시행하는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같이 불완전 유지보수가 수행되는 전동차의 장치들 중에서 승객용 도어시스템(PDS:passenger door system)의 고장데이터를 분석하고 유지보수 효과 수준을 적용하여 불완전유지보수 주기를 결정하는 문제를 다루었다.

항공기 정비 격납고는 고가의 항공기를 보관하거나 정비, 점검등을 하는 건축물로 화재발생 빈도는 낮지만 화재발생 시 인적, 물적 피해가 매우 클 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Fault tree를 이용하여 현재 운용중인 항공기 정비 격납고 소화시스템의 화재 안전성에 대한 정성적 분석을 시행하고, 도출된 기본사상에 대한 고장률 자료를 활용하여 정량적 분석을 실시한 후 정상사상의 발생 확률에 대한 Minimal cut set의 중요도를 분석하였다. Minimal cut set에 의한 정성적 분석결과 항공기 격납고 포헤드 소화시스템의 화재제어 실패로 대형화재로 확대될 수 있는 사고경로는 14개라는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 정량적인 분석 결과 대형화재로 확대될 확률은 $2.08{\times}E-05/day$이며, Minimal cut set의 중요도 분석 결과 화재 발생 시 4개의 Minimal cut set 즉, 구역별 화재 감지기 및 포헤드 동작과 항공기 날개 및 Fire plume에 의한 소화약제 차단이 동일하게 24.95%로 대형화재로 확대될 가능성의 대부분을 차지하였으며, 항공기 정비 격납고의 포헤드 소화시스템은 항공기 날개 하부화재에 대한 적응성이 없어 개선이 필요한 것으로 Fault tree를 이용하여 처음 확인하였다.
