β¦ Synopsis
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 overhauls and optimal interval between overhauls for minimizing the expected cost rate over infinite time horizon are determined. Under some mild conditions, a unique optimal maintenance policy exists and a closed-form expression for the optimal interval between overhauls is derived when the lifetime of the system follows Weibull distribution. Numerical studies are made. (~) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

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
