Abstract

In this paper, we introduce and analyze simple, new inspection policies for maintaining deteriorating equipment with non-self-announcing failures. These policies utilize information from the inspection/repair history as well as the system lifetime distribution to schedule future inspections. Numerical results indicate that the policies can significantly outperform standard (periodic) maintenance strategies by providing higher availability for a given inspection rate.
