This paper investigates a mathematical model of a system composed of two non-identical unit parallel system with common-cause failure, critical human error, non-critical human error, preventive maintenance and two type of repair, i.e. cheaper and costlier. This system goes for preventive maintenance at random epochs. We assume that the failure, repair and maintenance times are independent random variables. The failure rates, repair rates and preventive maintenance rate are constant for each unit. The system is analyzed by using the graphical evaluation and review technique (GERT) to obtain various related measures and we study the effect of the preventive maintenance preventive maintenance on the system performance. Certain important results have been derived as special cases. The plots for the mean time to system failure and the steady-state availability A(${\infty}$) of the system are drawn for different parametric values.

This paper investigates the stress-reducing preventive maintenance model through numerical experiments. The preventive maintenance model is used to analyze the relationship between related conditions and variables to gain insight into the efficient operation of the system when performing preventive maintenance in real-world situations. Various preventive maintenance models have been developed over the past decades and their complexity has increased in recent years. Increasing complexity is essential to reflect reality, but recent models can only be interpreted through numerical experiments. The stress-reducing preventive maintenance is a newly introduced preventive maintenance concept and can only be interpreted numerically due to its complexity, and has received little attention because the concept is unfamiliar. Therefore, for information purposes, this paper investigates the characteristics of the stress-reducing preventive maintenance and the relationship between parameters and variables through numerical experiments. In particular, this paper is focusing on the economic feasibility of stress-reducing preventive maintenance by observing changes in the optimal preventive maintenance period in response to changes in environmental stress and the improvement factor. As a result, when either the environmental stress or the improve effect of stress-reducing preventive maintenance is low, it is not necessary to carry out the stress-reducing preventive maintenance at excessive cost. In addition, it was found that the age reduction model is more economical than the failure rate reduction model.

This Paper is about optimizing preventive maintenance period of connected (r,s) out of(m,n) : F lattice system that one of multi-component system, (m,n) matrix failure of whole system is occurrence when parts that belong in (r,s) matrix part procession of parts arranged with procession are breakdown all. The preventive maintenance about system is very important viewing from system reliability and operational expense viewpoint. Preventive maintenance that misses a time calls big loss by system failure and expense of frequent full equipment is paid excessively in preventive maintenance itself but expense is paid much in preventive maintenance itself and whole expense escalation can be achieved preferably. Through this research, reliability model is constructed that do expense by smallest under full equipment policy chosen through comparison of each full equipment policy and preventive maintenance expense full equipment cycle and r ,s value are made using simulated annealing algorithm and simulated annealing algorithm that converge fast in multi-component system certified most suitable to optimization decision

노화에 의한 시스템의 예기치 않은 장애 발생은 예방 관리 기능을 수행함으로써 줄일 수 있으며, 이를 통해 시스템의 가용도를 높일 수 있다. 예방 관리 기법은 크게 시간 기반과 조건 기반의 두 가지로 나눌 수 있다. 시간 기반 방식은 정해진 시간 간격마다 수행되고, 조건 기반 방식은 시스템 상태가 특정 조건을 만족할 때 수행된다. 조건 기반 방식은 시간 기반 방식과 비교했을 때 예방 관리의 효율성을 향상시킬 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 본 논문은 노화 상태에서 일정 시간이 지난 후 예방 관리를 수행하게 되는 시스템을 분석할 수 있는 확률 모형을 제시한다. 제시한 모형은 현실적인 상황을 반영하여 비 마르코비안 모형으로 모델링한다. 해당 확률 모형을 수학적으로 해석하여 정상 상태에서의 시스템 가용도와 수익을 분석한다.

Almost preventive maintenance policies assumed that the system after pm has failure rate as before pm with probability p and as good as new with probability 1-p. This paper considers the s-expected cost of the model with imperfect periodic preventive maintenance that increasing minimal repair costs at failure and obtains the optimum periodic preventive maintenance time. Numerical example are shown in which the failure time of the system has gamma distribution.

In this paper, we consider the periodic preventive maintenance model for a repairable system following the expiration of replacement-repair warranty. Under this preventive maintenance model, we derive the expressions for the expected cycle length, the expected total cost and the expected cost rate per unit time. Also, we determine 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 Weibull distribution case.

This paper considers an imperfect repair model for which the repairable system is maintained preventively at periodic times and is replaced by a new system when a predetermined number of preventive maintenance has been applied. our main objective of this is to determine the optimal number of preventive maintenances before the system is replaced and the optimal length of interval between two consecutive preventive maintenances under a new repair model which is referred to as an ineffective preventive maintenance. Such a model assumes a periodic preventive maintenance in which the system is effectively maintained with a certain probability. Otherwise the system is not improved at all after each maintenance and thus the failure rate remains the same as before. The criteria to determine the optimal number of preventive maintenances and length of period is the expected cost rate per unit time for an infinite time span. We give the explicit expressions for the expected cost rate per unit time. Some numerical examples are presented for illustrative purposes.

Purpose: We introduce ways to employ Markov chain model to evaluate the effect of preventive maintenance process. While the preventive maintenance process decreases the failure rate of each subsystems, it increases the downtime of the system because the system can not work during the maintenance process. The goal of this paper is to introduce ways to analyze this trade-off. Methods: Markov chain models are employed. We derive the availability of the system consisting of N repairable subsystems by the methods under various maintenance policies. Results: To validate our methods, we apply our models to the real maintenance data reports of military truck. The error between the model and the data was about 1%. Conclusion: The models developed in this paper fit real data well. These techniques can be applied to calculate the availability under various preventive maintenance policies.

Traditional maintenance planning is based on a constant maintenance interval for equipment life. In order to consider economic aspect for time based preventive maintenance, preventive maintenance is desirable to be scheduled by RCM(Reliability-Centered Maintenance) evaluation. The main objective of RCM is to reduce the maintenance cost, by focusing on the most important functions of the system and avoiding or removing maintenance actions that are not strictly necessary. So, Markov state model is utilized considering stochastic state in RCM. In this paper, a Markov state model which can be used for scheduling and optimization of maintenance is presented. The deterioration process of system condition is modeled by the stepwise Markov model in detail. Also, because the system is not continuously monitored, the inspection is considered. In case study, simulation results about RCM will be shown using the real historical data of combustion turbine generating unit in Korean power systems.

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.
