Abstract

Abstract A model using a sequence of distributions, with dependent parameters, for a repairable system is proposed. By using a set of failure data containing successive times to failures, the parameters of the model are estimated and functional forms relating the parameters to the state of the system are obtained. Simulation is then conducted to determine the optimal age maintenance scheme for such a system. Finally, a possible extension is suggested by introducing stabilizing rate and deterioration rate of a class of repairable systems so that a stochastic model for such repairable systems can be fully determined.
