Abstract

The purposes of this paper are to model the effects of imperfect maintenance, and from the model to derive conditions under which preventive maintenance is beneficial. The criteria are derived via: 1) maximization of the steady state availability and 2) minimization of the s-expected cost per unit time over an infinite time span when the maintenance times are non-zero.
