Many problems in manufacturing systems can be formulated via Markov stochastic
modeling. This paper gives a review and classification of timed models of manufacturing …

With the rapid growth in wind turbine technology worldwide, the high operational and
maintenance costs of wind turbines have posed a major challenge to wind power operating …

Power system degradation has highly motivated utilities to perform preventive maintenance.
Inadequate inspection and maintenance could lead to early failures. However, too much of …

Preventive maintenance (PM) is a key aspect for industrial, production and generally
technological systems, since it can prevent unexpected breakdowns and their …

This paper proposes a novel condition‐based maintenance model for a two‐component
warm standby system considering an imperfect switching policy. Unlike the conventional …

The purpose of this article is to analyze three maintenance policies in a flexible
manufacturing cell from a mechanical manufacturing company. The policies were …

The objective of this chapter is to calculate the performance of a complex system of an
energy plant. In this model, deals with the universal generating function technique (UGF) for …

This paper considers a mathematical model analysing the deterioration of system equipment
and available maintenance options. Under specific conditions on costs and transition …

This paper combines the (normalized) cost and availability metrics into one new metric:
availability/normalized cost. The new metric seems to provide more sensitivity for the …

High-quality maintenance is crucial to extend the life cycle of systems. Deficient procedures
due to components with hidden flaws, incorrect refurbishing, or undertrained operators can …
