In this paper, we study a degenerative reparable system with two types of failure states.Any system after repair can not be as good as new. A general monotone process model for adegenerative system under partial product process is used. We use a replacement policy N based on the failure number of the system and to determine an optimal replacement policy N* such that the average cost rate is minimized.

We develop a model and a genetic algorithm for determining an optimal replacement policy for power equipment subject to Poisson shocks. If the time interval of two consecutive shocks is less than a threshold value, the failed equipment can be repaired. We assume that the operating time after repair is stochastically nonincreasing and the repair time is exponentially distributed with a geometric increasing mean. Our objective is to minimize the expected average cost under an availability requirement. Based on this average cost function, we propose the genetic algorithm to locate the optimal replacement policyNto minimize the average cost rate. The results show that the GA is effective and efficient in finding the optimal solutions. The availability of equipment has significance effect on the optimal replacement policy. Many practical systems fit the model developed in this paper.

In this paper, we study a monotone process maintenance model for a multistate system with k working states and ℓ failure states. By making different assumptions, we can apply the model to a multistate deteriorating system as well as to a multistate improving system. We show that the monotone process model for a multistate system is equivalent to a geometric process model for a two-state system. Then, for both the deteriorating and the improving system, we analytically determine an optimal replacement policy for minimizing the long-run average cost per unit time.

In this paper, we consider an optimal maintenance policy for a reparable deteriorating system subject to random shocks. For a reparable deteriorating system, the repair time by a partial product process and the failure mechanism by a generalized δshock process. Develop an explicit expression of the ling run average cost per unit time under N policy is studied.

<abstract><p>This article studies a parallel repairable degradation system with two similar components and a repairman who can take a single vacation. Suppose that the system consists of two components that cannot be repaired "as good as new" after failures; when the repairman has a single vacation, the fault component of system may not be repaired immediately, namely, if a component fails and the repairman is on vacation, the repair of the component will be delayed, if a component fails and the repairman is on duty, the fault component can be repaired immediately. Under these assumptions, a replacement policy $ N $ based on the failed times of component 1 is studied. The explicit expression of the system average cost rate $ C(N) $ and the optimal replacement policy $ N^{\ast} $ by minimizing the $ C(N) $ are obtained, which means the two components of the system will be replaced at the same time if the failures of component 1 reach $ N^{\ast} $. To show the advantage of a parallel system, a replacement policy $ N $ of the cold standby system consisting of the two similar components is also considered. The numerical results of both systems are given by the numerical analysis. The optimal replacement policy $ N^* $ for both systems are obtained. Finally, the comparison of numerical results shows the advantages of the parallel system.</p></abstract>

In this paper, a repairable system consisting of one unit and a single repairman is studied. Assume that the system after repair is not as good as new. Under this assumption, a bivariate replacement policy (T, N), where T is the working age and N is the number of failures of the system is studied. The problem is to determine the optimal replacement policy (T, N)∗such that the long-run average cost per unit time is minimized. The explicit expression of the long-run average cost per unit time is derived, and the corresponding optimal replacement policy can be determined analytically or numerically. Finally, under some conditions, we show that the policy (T, N)∗ is better than policies N∗ or T∗.

Large amounts of money are lost each year in the real-estate industry because of poor schedule and cost control, In Industry the investigated failure and repair pattern, reliabilities of generators, compressors, turbines, using simple statistical tools and simulation techniques. The repair duration is divided into the 1) Major repair 2) Minor repair, In major repair having (repair hour greater than a threshold valve) and Minor repair having (repair hour less than (or)equal to threshold valve). This approach is mainly for Weibull distribution method. In Weibull analysis is a common method for failure analysis and reliability engineering used in a wide range of applications. In this paper, the applicability of Weibull analysis for evaluating and comparing the reliability of the schedule performance of multiple projects is presented, while the successive performance of multiple projects is presented, while the successive repair times are increasing and are exposing to Weibull distribution, under these assumptions, an optimal replacement policy ‘T’ in which we replace the system, when the repair time reaches T. It can be determined that an optimal repair replacement policy T* such that long run average cost and the corresponding optimal replacement policy T* can be determined analytically.

In this paper, we study a similar replacement model in which the successive survival times of the system form a process with non-increasing means, whereas the consecutive repair times after failure constitute a process with non-decreasing means. The system is replaced at the time of the Nth failure since the installation or last replacement. Based on the long-run average cost per unit time, we determine the optimal replacement policy N∗ and the maximum of the long-run average reward explicitly. Under additional conditions, the policy N∗ is even optimal among all replacement policies.
