Abstract

Most maintenance models assume perfect maintenance, where a system becomes as good as new after each maintenance action. However, in reality system's performance deteriorates over time. This work investigates a system's performance when subjected to failures which are imperfectly repaired. Two cases are regarded: Maintenance by repair and replacement and maintenance by probabilistic repair and replacement. The objective is to asses the system's long run behavior by deriving closed expressions for its operational probability.
