This paper proposes a new maintenance policy for protection systems which fail due to
competing causes: internal deterioration and fatal external shocks. The study is motivated by …

With rapid advances in technology, many systems are becoming more complex, including
ever-increasing numbers of components that are prone to failure. In most cases, it may not …

Abstract Systems commonly operate in time-varying environments which have essential
impact on system performance, thus reliability modeling and maintenance strategy are faced …

Production, maintenance, and quality represent the three primary tasks in manufacturing
systems. Previous studies have predominantly focused on optimizing these tasks separately …

There is an increasing demand for long-distance emergency transportation missions.
Transportation systems often perform missions in harsh environments, and the valid shock …

This paper develops a data-driven approach to dynamically integrate tactical production and
predictive maintenance planning for a multi-state system composed of several series …

Many production facilities consist of multiple parallel units to facilitate the completion of
production plans, yet these devices are inevitably prone to malfunctions with increased …

Components serve as the fundamental units of complex systems when implementing
maintenance activities. Predicting the remaining useful life of components, evaluating their …

Shocks have attracted considerable interest in reliability and maintenance engineering
because of their impact on vulnerable systems. Most industrial systems suffer from both …

In a fleet of mission-critical systems, maintaining high availability for each individual system
is vital to ensure consistent fleet readiness to meet mission demands. This study introduces …
