Abstract
Although Markov maintenance problems have received extensive attention, relatively few studies have addressed multiple nonreplacement maintenance actions for a multistate system with action-dependent risk and stochastic failure. In this study, we closely examine such multiple maintenance actions by viewing a coherent multicomponent system as a multistate system and assuming that each maintenance action regarding state improvement has a probabilistic risk which is ineffective. The above problem is also modeled as a Markov maintenance problem, demonstrating that the optimal maintenance policy has easily computed and implemented control limit rule. More specially, results in this study confirm the practical nature of the proposed model with respect to its ability than most conventional Markov maintenance models for some particular systems.
