A thoroughly updated and revised look at system reliability theory Since the first edition of
this popular text was published nearly a decade ago, new standards have changed the …

Efficient asset management is of paramount importance, particularly for systems with costly
downtime and failure. As in energy and capital-intensive industries, the economic loss of …

The notion of imperfect maintenance has spawned a large body of literature, and many
imperfect maintenance models have been developed. However, there is very little work on …

This paper addresses the integrated control of production and preventive maintenance for a
deteriorating single-machine manufacturing system. The machine is subjected to …

Diagnosis of intermittent failures is relevant for productive processes which sustain a high
level of maintenance caused by failures. Systems including electrical contacts suffer a …

Corrective maintenance (CM) is carried out to correct failures while preventive maintenance
(PM) is to avert failure. They both play an important role in asset management. Accurately …

The high-voltage circuit breaker (HV CB) constitutes an important repairable asset in power
systems. Due to its great number in the power network and strategic role in the successful …

Warranty policy, as a marketing strategy, has been widely studied for several decades, but
warranty models incorporating condition-based maintenance are still rare. In condition …

The paper considers repairable systems under imperfect repair. The failure rate of a new
system is assumed to follow a Weibull distribution and the repair efficiency is characterized …

An appropriate maintenance policy is essential to reduce expenses and risks related to
equipment failures. A fundamental aspect to be considered when specifying such policies is …
