Abstract

This paper investigates a novel condition-based opportunistic maintenance model for a two-component series system. The system comprises two non-identical components, that is, Component 1 and Component 2, suffering from shocks with different intensities. The two components are subject to dependent competing failure processes, that is, soft and hard failures. The component fails whichever type of failure process occurs. At each inspection, the replacement decision for components is made according to the condition of both components. In addition, when Component 1 is preventively replaced and Component 2 reaches the opportunistic maintenance threshold, opportunistic maintenance (OM) is implemented on Component 2. The optimal inspection interval, preventive replacement (PR) threshold, and OM threshold are derived by minimizing the long-run expected maintenance cost rate. Finally, the superiority of the proposed maintenance model is verified by an illustrative example.
