Abstract. New “enlightened” and holistic maintenance strategies are shaping the industrial world from inside, providing intelligent focused solutions where high availability, reliability safety required. Maintenance planning scheduling is an extremely daunting multi-faceted task which involves competences fairly different fields: customer support, quality, engineering, production, RAMS, cost es...

We develop a matrix algebra approach for optimizing condition-based maintenance with planning time gradually deteriorating, continuously monitored equipment. This avoids the calculation times of simulation and approximations more direct approaches. consider model in which after failure should be planned as well, resulting downtime, emergency repairs upon failure. Numerical examples are provided...

This paper deals with a condition-based maintenance (CBM) model considering both perfect and imperfect maintenance actions for a deteriorating system whose condition is aperiodically monitored according to a remaining useful life (RUL) based-inspection policy. Perfect maintenance actions restore completely the system to the ’as good as new’ state. Their related cost are however often high. Impe...

The Department of Defense (DoD) is currently maintaining the aircraft operability and functionality past the original design intention for many military aircraft. This practice imposes an additional burden on the inspection systems at the DoD logistic centers to ensure the aircraft in operation are airworthy and will be able to complete mission assignments for a specified period of time. Condit...
