The opportunistic maintenance of a k-out-of-n:G system is studied in this paper. In many applications, it spends less cost and time to perform maintenance on several components jointly than on each component separately. Based on this fact, two new (τ, T) opportunistic maintenance models with the consideration of reliability requirements are proposed. In these two models with two decision variables τ ≤ T, only minimal repairs are performed on failed components before time τ, and corrective maintenance of all failed components are combined with preventive maintenance (pm) of all functioning but deteriorated components after τ; if the system survives to time T without perfect maintenance, it will be subject to pm at time T. Considering maintenance time, asymptotic system cost rate and availability are derived. The results obtained generalize and unify some previous research in this area. Application to aircraft engine maintenance is presented.

The objective of this work was to enhance the product’s quality by concentrating on the machine’s optimized efficiency. In order to increase the machine’s reliability, the basis of reliability-centered maintenance approach was utilized. The purpose was to establish a planned preventive maintenance strategy to identify the machine’s critical components having a noteworthy effect on the product’s quality. The critical components were prioritized using failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA). The goal of the study was to decrease the ppm time interval for a CNC machine by simulating the projected preventive maintenance time interval. For this purpose, the simulation software ProModel 7.5 was implemented for the current preventive maintenance procedure to choose the best ppm time interval which contributed better norms. Five dissimilar optimization approaches were applied, however, the first approach yielded the prominent total system cost and the shorter ppm interval. The results of the study revealed that there was an increase of USD 1878 as a result of an increase in total system cost from USD 78,365 to USD 80,243. Preventive maintenance costs were reduced from USD 4196 to USD 2248 (46%). The costs associated with good parts increased from USD 8259 to USD 8294 (0.4%) and the costs associated with defective parts reduced from USD 171 to USD 3 (98.25%), respectively.

A consecutive linear (circular) [Formula: see text]-out-of-[Formula: see text]-from-[Formula: see text]: [Formula: see text] system consists of [Formula: see text] linear (circular) ordered components such that the system fails if and only if there exist a set of [Formula: see text] consecutive linear (circular) component that contains at least [Formula: see text] failed components. The optimal maintenance of the consecutive [Formula: see text]-out-of-[Formula: see text]-from-[Formula: see text]: [Formula: see text] system to linear and circular states is investigated in this paper. First, an integrated strategy of corrective maintenance and preventive maintenance is introduced. Then, for first time, optimal maintenance has been applied to these systems, and optimum maintenance time has been achieved with this strategy. Also, real-world practical examples for this system have been presented.

Abstract The purpose of this study is to determine the optimization of machine maintenance which is applied by the company (companies), the problems that arise in the maintenance system, and the cost of both preventive maintenance and subsequent corrective maintenance activities, to determine the alternatives that is most optimal. The case study will be conducted in the PT Great Giant Pineapple by focusing the research on Ridger Palir machine. The selection will done in this machine, that is to say, considering terms of maintenance, and the high price of the spare parts. Based on the research results that have been done on PT Great Giant Pineapple, the engine maintenance activities, the general implementation of the engine maintenance, shows the company has been running pretty well, but not yet optimal. Out of the problems found in these, the author tried to find a solution by taking into account the cost efficient in carrying out maintenance and engine solutions to the problem of spare part procurement. Preventive maintenance system may be optimal for the efficiency of the company if the determination of the machine preventative maintenance period is predominant. Machine preventative maintenance period can be optimized with the average, that is, the average treatment which cab conducted once every 6 months. Keywords: maintenance, preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance

Renewal-geometric process is used to describe such a non-homogeneous deteriorating process that a system will deteriorate after several consecutive repairs, not after each repair described by the geometric process. In the maintenance domain, the effect of corrective maintenance after failure is generally not repairable as new (e.g. geometrically deteriorating). Preventive maintenance is critical before a system failure, due to economic losses and security threats caused by a sudden shutdown. Therefore, this article assumes that a system is geometrically deteriorating after corrective maintenance, wherein preventive maintenances sequence in the same repair period form a renewal process since it can restore the system to the initial state of the period. Furthermore, a binary policy [Formula: see text] is utilized to minimize the long-run average cost rate, where [Formula: see text] represents the number corrective maintenances and [Formula: see text] denotes the time interval between two consecutive preventive maintenances. In particular, pseudo-age replacement model represents a special case of [Formula: see text], which is considered as a generalization of the traditional age-based replacement model. Subsequently, the optimal policy [Formula: see text] can be verified in theory and an asymptotic optimal policy [Formula: see text] can be obtained based on a heuristic grid search. Finally, numerical examples verify the effectiveness of this proposed model and show that implementation of preventive maintenance for some repairable systems is superior to no preventive maintenance in both economic and reliability aspects.

PT Lucas Djaja is a company engaged in the pharmaceutical industry which produce sterile drugs and non-sterile. Filling machine has a high failure rate and expensive corrective maintenance cost. PT Lucas Djaja has a policy to perform engine maintenance by way of corrective maintenance. The study focused on the critical components, namely bearing R2, bearing 625 and bearing 626. When the replacement of the failure done by the company is currently using the formula mean time to failure with the result of bearing R2 at point 165 days, bearing 625 at a point 205 days, and bearing 626 at a point 182 days. Solutions generated by using age replacement method with minimization of total maintenance cost given on the bearing R2 at a point 60 days, bearing 625 at the point of 80 days and bearing 626 at a point 40 days.
