In this work, a system subject to different deterioration processes is analysed. The arrival of the degradation processes to the system is modelled using a shot-noise Cox process. The degradation processes grow according to an homogeneous…
This paper analyses a system subject to multiple dependent degradation processes. Degradation processes start at random times following a non homogeneous Poisson process and next dependently propagate. The growth of these degradation…
Most existing research about complex systems maintenance assumes they consist of the same type of components. However, systems can be assembled with heterogeneous components (for example degrading and non-degrading components) that require…
This paper deals with the assessment of the performance of a system under a finite planning horizon. The system is subject to two dependent causes of failure: internal degradation and sudden shocks. We assume that internal degradation…
This paper compares two imperfect repair models for a degrading system, with deterioration level modeled by a non homogeneous gamma process. Both models consider instantaneous and periodic repairs. The first model assumes that a repair…
In this paper, a repairable multi-component system is studied where all the components can be repaired individually within the system. The whole system is inspected at inspection intervals and the failed components are detected and replaced…
Engineered and infrastructure systems deteriorate (e.g., loss capacity) as a result of adverse environmental or external conditions. Modeling deterioration is essential to define optimum design strategies and inspection and maintenance…
An optimization model has been formulated and solved to determine on-condition failure thresholds and inspection intervals for multi-component systems with each component experiencing multiple failure processes due to simultaneous exposure…
Motivated by original equipment manufacturer (OEM) service and maintenance practices we consider a single component subject to replacements at failure instances and two types of preventive maintenance opportunities: scheduled, which occur…
In this paper, we develop a new method to estimate the parameters of a deteriorating system under perfect condition-based maintenance. This method is based on the asymptotical behavior of the system, which is studied by using the renewal…
Scheduling the maintenance based on the condition, respectively the degradation level of the system leads to improved system's reliability while minimizing the maintenance cost. Since the degradation level changes dynamically during the…
We analyze the fate of dynamical systems that consist of two kind of processes. The first type is supposed to perform a certain function by processing information at a required high accuracy, which is, however, limited to less than 100…
In a dependent multi-component system, increasing the deterioration of a part leads to the increased deterioration rate of other parts as well. In these systems, a deterioration limit is usually pre-determined for each part and the…
In this paper we describe a general approach to optimal imperfect maintenance activities of a repairable equipment with independent components. Most of the existing works on optimal imperfect maintenance activities of a repairable equipment…
The need for maintenance is based on the wear of components of machinery. If this need can be defined reliably beforehand so that no unpredicted failures take place then the maintenance actions can be carried out economically with mini-mum…
This paper reviews current literature in the field of predictive maintenance from the system point of view. We differentiate the existing capabilities of condition estimation and failure risk forecasting as currently applied to simple…
Implementing an appropriate maintenance policy would help us to have a more reliable system and reduce the total costs. In this paper, a dynamic maintenance plan is proposed for repairable multi-component systems, where each component is…
This paper presents an analysis of technical debt management through resources allocation policies in software maintenance process during its operation to demonstrate how different strategies leads to the emergence of different behaviors…
In this paper we introduce a new model where the concept of condition-based maintenance is combined in a network setting with dynamic spare parts management. The model facilitates both preventive and corrective maintenance of geographically…
