in this paper we focus on a continuously deteriorating two units series equipment which its failure can not be measured by cost criterion. for these types of systems avoiding failure during the actual operation of the system is extremely important. in this paper we determine inspection periods and maintenance policy in such a way that failure probability is limited to a pre-specified value and ...

in this paper, we focus on a continuously deteriorating critical equipment which its failure cannot be measured by cost criterion. for these types of systems like military systems, nuclear systems, etc it is extremely important to avoid failure during the actual operation of the system. in this paper we propose an approach which constrains failure probability to a pre-specified value. this valu...

this paper studies a maintenance policy for a system composed of two components, which are subject to continuous deterioration and consequently stochastic failure. the failure of each component results in the failure of the system. the components are inspected periodically and their deterioration degrees are monitored. the components can be maintained using different maintenance actions (repair...

The use of condition monitoring techniques within industry to direct maintenance actions has increased rapidly over recent years to the extent that it has marked the beginning of what is likely to prove a new generation in production and maintenance management practice. There are both economic and technological reasons for this development driven by tight profit margins, high outage costs and a...

Developments in sensor equipment and the Internet of Things increasingly allow production facilities to be monitored controlled remotely real-time. Organizations can exploit these opportunities reduce costs improve reliability by employing condition-based maintenance (CBM) policies. Another recently proposed option is adopt (CBP) policies that control deterioration dynamically adapting rate. Th...

The aim of this paper is to propose an adequate condition-based maintenance policy to a gradually deteriorating system using on-line detection algorithms. The originality of this work is due to the fact that the parameters defining the deterioration mode can be unknown. The main purpose is to estimate these unknown parameters in order to propose an adoptive condition based maintenance policy an...

Condition monitoring is the foundation of a condition based maintenance (CBM). To relate the information obtained from the condition monitoring to the actual state of the system, it is usually required a stochastic model. On the other hand, considering the interactions and similarities that exist between CBM and statistical process control (SPC), the integrated models for CBM and SPC have been ...
