Abstract
Several factors such as reliability, availability, and cost may consider in the maintenance modeling. In order to develop an optimal inspection program, it is necessary to consider the simultaneous effect of above factor in the model structure. In addition, for finding the optimal maintenance interval it is necessary to make trade-offs between several factors, which may conflicting each other as well. The study comprises of mathematical formulating an optimal interval problem based on Multi-Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT). The aim of the proposed research is to develop a methodology with supporting tools for determination of optimal inspection in a maintenance planning to assure and preserve a desired level of performance measure such as reliability, availability, risk, etc. For verification and validation purposes, the proposed methodology (analysis approach) and tools (models) will be applied in a real case which given by the literature.
