We propose a systematic approach to determine the optimal maintenance policy for an automated manufacturing system which includes a flexible manufacturing cell (FMC) and several automated machine shops. The systematic approach combines simulation, fractional factorial design, noise or outer array of

## a b s t r a c t Maintenance policies for multi-state systems (MSS) are often analyzed under infinite horizon assumptions. In practice, it is important to consider maintenance policies under a finite horizon because the life cycles of most systems are finite. In this paper, we consider a finite l
A preventive maintenance policy with minimal repair at failure, periodic overhaul, and replacement is considered. A model describing the effect of overhaul is proposed and the expected cost rate is obtained under negligible or nonnegligible maintenance time. Based on this model, optimal number of ov
