A generalized sequential preventive maintenance policy for repairable systems with general random minimal repair costs

A generalized sequential preventive maintenance (PM) policy for repairable systems with general random minimal repair costs is proposed and analysed. After each (planned or unplanned) preventive maintenance, the system has a different failure distribution and the failure rate function increases with the number of preventive maintenances carried out. The criterion for the optimal policy is to minimize the expected cost per unit time for an infinite time span. It is shown that under certain reasonable assumptions, sequential preventive maintenance policy has unique solutions. Various special cases are considered.
