Maintenance Overtime Policy with Cumulative Damage

Abstract

We propose an extended maintenance overtime policy for the cumulative damage model where an operating unit suffers some damage due to shocks. It is assumed that the total damage is additive, and the unit fails when the total damage has exceeded a prespecified damage level. It is supposed that we start to observe occurrence of shocks after time T, and the unit is replaced at Nth (N=1,2,…) shock over time T or at failure, whichever occurs first. That is, we propose a new policy by extending maintenance overtime policy. One example is a rental of system such as industrial equipment with some reservations. For such systems, they should be maintained or replaced at a prespecified number of uses over a scheduled time. For such a model, we obtain the mean time to replacement and the expected costs rate. Further, we discuss about optimal number N^* and time T^* which minimizes the expected cost rate when shocks occur in a Poisson process. Finally, numerical examples are given, and suitable discussions are made.

System reliability computation and estimation based on a cumulative damage–threshold–shock model

“…They discussed the degradation models based on multiple external shocks, dependent shocks and shocks arriving as point processes, respectively. Similar studies were performed by Mizutani and Nakagawa (2018) and Gao et al (2019).…”

Analysis of Local Climate Variations Using Correlation between Satellite Measurements of Methane Emission and Temperature Trends within Physiographic Regions of Ukraine

“…Development of theoretical background and practicing of regional climate parameters simulation and forecasting, including temperature, should be the key focus of future research, first of all on the analysis of potential threats and damage, connected with climate change using statistical approaches (Lyalko, 2015;Mizutani and Nakagawa, 2018;Shah et al, 2018). General background for it is also proposed.…”
