Basic Preventive Maintenance Policies and their Variations

  • Chapter

Abstract

This chapter is concerned with the basic preventive maintenance policies arising in the context of the mathematical maintenance theory. Simple but practically important preventive maintenance optimization models, which involve age replacement and block replacement, are reviewed in the framework of the well-known renewal reward argument. Some variations to these basic models as well as the corresponding discrete time models are also introduced with the aim of the application of the theory to the practice.
