Title
A geometric process maintenance model with preventive repair
Abstract
In this paper, a geometric process maintenance model with preventive repair is studied. A maintenance policy (T,N) is applied by which the system will be repaired whenever it fails or its operating time reaches T whichever occurs first, and the system will be replaced by a new and identical one following the Nth failure. The long-run average cost per unit time is determined. An optimal policy (T∗,N∗) could be determined numerically or analytically for minimizing the average cost. A new class of lifetime distribution which takes into account the effect of preventive repair is studied that is applied to determine the optimal policy (T∗,N∗).
