On the optimal degree of imperfect repair

Reliability Engineering and System Safety, 2015
Abstract A simple cost-wise comparison between the minimal and perfect repair of a system is discussed first using a relevant example. The main focus of this note, however, is on imperfect (general) repair. The best repair for our system in this case is defined as the one that corresponds to the optimal level (extent) of repair actions that minimize ...

Imperfect repair and lifesaving in heterogeneous populations

Reliability Engineering and System Safety, 2007
In this theoretical paper we generalize the notion of minimal repair to the heterogeneous case, when the lifetime distribution function can be modeled by continuous or a discrete mixture of distributions. The statistical (black box) minimal repair and the minimal repair based on information just before the failure of an object are considered.

Warranty servicing with imperfect repair

International Journal of Production Economics, 2008
A manufacturer of a product sold with warranty incurs additional costs from the servicing of warranty claims made by customers. These costs depend on several factors such as the reliability of the product, the warranty terms, the maintenance actions of the customers, and the servicing strategy used by the manufacturer.

Maintenance policies for protection systems with imperfect inspection and imperfect repair

Reliability Engineering and System Safety
In this study, we investigate the optimal maintenance policies for stochastically deteriorating protection systems with imperfect inspections and imperfect repairs. We model the system's degradation as a continuous-time Markov chain with three states: good, poor, and failed.
