Most maintenance-optimisation models assume an infinite planning horizon and suppose that the failure process is … information (such as a variable use of components and the occurrence of maintenance opportunities). With numerical experiments we … stationary-planning method with the costs according to an approach which can adapt this long-term plan to dynamically changing …

In this paper we review the literature on multi-component maintenance models with economic dependence. The emphasis is … Parlar (1991). The classification scheme that we choose is primarily based on the various options of grouping maintenance … activities: grouping either corrective or preventive maintenance actions, or combining preventive maintenance activities with …

A maintenance activity carried out on a technical system often involves a system-dependent set-up cost that is the same … for all maintenance activities carried out on that system. Grouping activities thus saves costs since execution of a group … of activities requires only one set-up. By now, there are several multi-component maintenance models available in the …

maintenance optimization models which covers almost all models used in practice. For the class of unimodal finite-valued marginal …
