Time Dependent Perfect Corrective Maintenance Policy
Résumé
The same maintenance actions could induce different costs during time. In this paper, a single-unit system is considered under the lifetime test. The system is inspected periodically, and the inspection interval is considered as a decision parameter which should be optimized. A maintenance policy is proposed such that a set of corrective maintenance actions with different costs is considered and in the case of failure detection at inspection times the system is replaced by a new one. In this setup, it makes sense that choose of maintenance action depends on time or other covariates, through a statistical model. Eventually, the proposed maintenance policy is applied by a numerical simulation.
