Burn-in is a widely used method to eliminate 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.

With the barracks modernization project, the Ministry of National Defense has been operating 60 projects of the 75 that have been announced. It was difficult to investigate and analyze the data in the past because data could not be obtained while it was much easier to do that since data can be obtained from private companies. With the aim of increasing the usability of the facilities, the objective of this study is to present a reasonable alternative for repair and maintenance costs by investigating and analyzing the budget and the actual expenses of repair and maintenance of military facilities for the past 3 to 5 years, and then identifying the problems with these. To accomplish this, a theoretical review of previous studies and legal grounds related to repair and maintenance costs was performed, and data on the estimates and the actual expenses data used in BTL projects carried out by private companies were analyzed. First, one of the problems was that there are some items omitted, including consumables, and these items should be included in order to secure their budget. Second, in terms of the items for divided payments, two improvements had been presented: a short-term payment plan for the operation period of 3 to 5 years and a long-term payment plan for an additional and complemented period other than the operation period. The repair and maintenance costs should be further studied at the point of time in a future when the actual data on the costs and operation period of military facilities can be secured. This study is expected to serve as empirical data that will form the basis for a reasonable calculation of the construction cost for military facilities.

The service life of concrete structures exposed to a marine environment can be extended by controlling the amount of chloride in cover concrete. Patching is one of the appropriate maintenance techniques for chloride contamination. Chloride-contaminated cover concrete is removed and replaced with sound one. It can provide less risk of corrosion of steel, so that the structure can be maintained for required service life. In this study, a quantitative assessment of the service life subjected to the chloride attack is proposed to determine the effective repair options such as repair depth, repair material and timing of repair. The Crank-Nicolson based finite difference formulation from Fick's second law is proposed to predict the profiles of chloride ion in a repaired concrete structure, considering ingress of chloride from outer and redistribution of residual chloride from the substrate concrete. Therefore, the repair application times and maintenance cost for the target service life can be estimated. Finally, the numerical examples are presented to ensure its applicability.

Present maintenance of a high speed railway is after the fack maintenance that executes a task when measured value goes over threshold value except some planned maintenance. It is difficult from efficient management of maintenance human resource and equipment commitment because it is difficult to predict quantity of maintenance targets. Corrective maintenance is pushed back on the repair priority of other target to need repair and it is exceeded repair cost potentially. For safety and dependable track management because track deterioration prediction is linked directly with track's life and safety of train service, it is very important that track management be based on preventive maintenance. In this study, we propose statistics model of track quality to use track inspection data and forecast model for track deterioration prediction.

This paper proposes an optimal replacement policy following the expiration of a free renewing replacement-non-renewing minimal repair warranty. To do so, the free renewing replacement-non-renewing minimal repair warranty is defined and then the maintenance model following the expiration of free renewing replacement-non-renewing minimal repair warranty from the user's point of view is studied. As the criteria to determine the optimality of the maintenance policy, we consider the expected cost rate per unit time from the user's perspective. We derive the expressions for the expected cycle length and the expected total cost to obtain the expected cost rate per unit time. Finally, the numerical examples are presented for illustrative purposes.

Estimating the repair and reinforcement (R&R) costs for each bridge member is essential for managing the life cycle of a bridge using a bridge management system (BMS). Representative members of a bridge were defined in this study, and detailed and representative R&R methods for each one were drawn in order to develop a systematic maintenance cost model that is applicable to the BMS. The unit cost for each detailed R&R method was established using the standard of estimate and historical cost data, and a systematic procedure is presented using an integration program to enable easy renewal of the R&R unit cost. Also, the average unit cost of the representative R&R methods was calculated in the form of a weighted average by considering the unit cost and application frequency of each detained R&R method. The appropriateness of the drawn average unit cost was reviewed by comparing and verifying it with the previous historical unit cost. The suggested average R&R unit cost can be used to review the validity of the required budget or the appropriateness of the R&R performance cost in the stage to establish the bridge maintenance plan. The results of this study are expected to improve the reliability of maintenance cost information and the rationality of decision making.

Purpose: The repair would require to conserve and improve the building function and performance since built. Each household is responsible for maintaining the public facilities and paying the required cost. Therefore, it needs to get the tool or method to forecast the required cost in the future. Before the repair cost is provided, it needs to catch the repair cost distribution and provide the unit cost for the repair cycle. In this study, it aimed at providing the repair cost unit and analyzing the repair cost distribution in a roof proofing work, elevator work and building painting, which are divided into a fully work and partly change. Results of this study are shown that first, the average repair cost for roof proofing work is provided with $166.59{\times}10^3won/household$ and $1.59{\times}10^3won/m^2$ of a full change, $33.22{\times}10^3won/household$ and $0.33{\times}10^3won/m^2$ for a partly work. In addition, elevator work is $557.45{\times}10^3won/household$ and $5.38{\times}10^3won/m^2$ for a full change, $32.92{\times}10^3won/household$ and $0.56{\times}10^3won/m^2$ for a partly repair. Painting has a $304.48{\times}10^3won/household$ and $2.94{\times}10^3won/m^2$. Second, the distribution pattern of repair unit cost has a weibull-typed distribution which has a long tail to the right.

As aged infrastructures have been increased, the importance of accurate maintenance costs and proper budget allocation for infrastructure become prominent under limited resources. This study proposed a mapping algorithm between representative defects, repair methods, and the estimated maintenance costs for concrete bridges. In this regard, using BMS (Bridge Management System) data analysis, bridge repair methods were classified and matched with defects according to their locations, types, and sizes. In addition, the maintenance costs were estimated based on the amount of work-load and quantity per unit using CSPR (Cost Standard Production Rate). As a result, the level of accuracy was an average of 85.1 % compared with the actual bill of quantity for Seoul bridge maintenance. The accuracy of maintenance costs is expected to be enhanced by considering the various site conditions such as pier height, extra charge conditions, additional equipment, etc.

This paper is to study the simulation model of depot maintenance system that analyzes logistics supportability such as component availability and cost of target equipment. A depot maintenance system could repair or maintain multiple components simultaneously. The key performance indicators of this system are component availability, repair cycle time, and maintenance cost. The simulation model is based on the engine maintenance process of army aviation depot. This study combines the NOLH(Nearly Orthogonal Latin Hypercube) experimental design method, to composes 33 scenarios, with a multiple regression analysis to find out major factors that influence on key performance indicators. This study is significant in providing a cost-effectiveness analysis on depot maintenance system that is capable of maintaining multiple components at the same time.

In this paper, we deal with the problem of maintenance policies for an air filter system in clean room. Two types of maintenance policies are considered, one based on the reliability of equipment and the other one determined by the total cost including minimal repair cost. For these models, we obtain the structure of the optimal maintenance Policy which minimize the total cost. Finally we give the numerical example.
