Predictive Maintenance is crucial for production systems as it helps maintaining the
reliability and availability of components/equipment as well as preventing unexpected …

This paper models a dual-unit standby system with non-identical, reusable units that perform
the mission task alternatively according to a pre-specified replacement and maintenance …

The parallel structure in the reliability engineering is widely used in many industrial systems
such as power generation systems, pump systems, production systems and computing …

Recent studies have shown that elements reusing through preventive replacements is
beneficial in enhancing the mission success probability (MSP) of standby systems. While …

Recent studies have shown that reusing standby elements during the mission may improve
the mission success probability significantly. However, such a benefit cannot be effectively …

Urban buses usually require several distinct types of preventive maintenance. Due to the
complexity of urban buses, quantifying the efficiency of preventive maintenance is very …

In this paper, we study some preventive maintenance policies for coherent systems with n,
n⩾ 1, components. We consider a coherent system consisting of K, K⩾ 1, different types of …

Intensive research efforts have been dedicated to reliability analysis and optimization of
standby systems. However, only few of the existing models allow a system element to be …

Reliability modeling and optimization of warm standby systems have attracted considerable
research attentions in the past decade due to their wide use in diverse critical applications …

In many industrial and technological systems, due to factors such as deterioration, corrosion,
attacks, etc., preventive replacement is typically performed according to a predetermined …
