Abstract

In this paper, we investigate optimal age-based preventive maintenance (PM) policies for an ( n - k + 1)-out-of- n system whose components are exposed to fatal shocks that arrive from various sources. We consider two different scenarios for the system failure. In the first one, it is assumed that the shock process is of the type of Marshall-Olkin where each shock affects one component of the system and puts it down, and one shock affects all components and destroys all of them. In the second scenario, it is assumed that the system is subject to an extended type of Marshall-Olkin shock process where the shocks arriving at random times may cause the breakdown of 1, 2, …, or n components. Under each scenario for the components failure, we investigate an optimal age-based PM model for the system by imposing the related cost function. Then, in each case, we explore the optimal PM time that minimizes the mean cost per unit of time. Some numerical results are presented to illustrate the applications of the proposed models.
