Repairable System Modeling
Professionals in all industries and
the military are faced with the problems of performing maintenance
actions on, and optimizing maintenance planning for, their
repairable systems. Constructing mathematical models of their
repairable systems and using these models to optimize maintenance
strategies require a basic understanding of several key reliability
and maintainability concepts and mathematical modeling approaches.
The literature on maintenance modeling and optimization is extensive
and includes a wide variety of assumptions and modeling approaches.
Therefore, our objective is to present the fundamental concepts and
modeling approaches.
Key Words: Repairable
Systems, Renewal Theory, Selective Maintenance, Continuous Time
Markov Chains
