Ordering Policies under Minimal Repair

IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 1986
Many maintenance policies in the literature have assumed that whenever a unit is to be replaced, a new unit is immediately available. However, if the procurement lead time is not negligible, an ordering policy should determine when to order a spare and when to replace the operating unit.

Minimal repair models with non-negligible repair time

Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 2022
Abstract In existing minimal repair models, it is usually supposed that the repair time of systems is negligible, and thus the occurrences of breakdowns obey non-homogeneous Poisson Process within a replacement interval. However, for the case that the mean working time of a system is not far longer than its mean repair time, ignoring repair time may ...

Age-dependent minimal repair

Journal of Applied Probability, 1985
A stochastic model is developed to describe the operation in time of the following maintained system setting. A piece of equipment is put in operation at time 0. Each time it fails, a maintenance action is taken which, with probability p(t), is a complete repair or, with probability q(t)=1– p(t), is a minimal repair, where t is the age of the equipment

Replacement Policies under Minimal Repair

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 1981
In many situations where system failures occur the concept of ‘minimal repair’ is important. A minimal repair occurs when the failed system is not treated so as to return it to ‘as new’ condition but is instead returned to the average condition for a working system of its age.

Minimal cosmetic revision required after minimally invasive pectus repair

Pediatric Surgery International, 2018
Despite surgical correction procedures for pectus deformities, remaining cosmetic asymmetry may have significant psychological effects. We sought to evaluate factors associated with plastic surgery (PS) consultation and procedures for these deformities at an academic institution.We reviewed patients aged 0-21 diagnosed with a pectus excavatum or ...

Optimal Policy for Minimal Repair

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 1983
The problem of replacement under minimal repair is considered. It is shown that a particular form of control limit policy is optimal in the space of all possible policies. This generalises a previous result.

Minimal repair in heterogeneous populations

Journal of Applied Probability, 2004
The notion of minimal repair is generalized to the case when the lifetime distribution function is a continuous or a discrete mixture of distributions (heterogeneous population). The statistical (black box) minimal repair and the minimal repair based on information just before the failure of an object are considered.

Models for Minimal Repair

2011
In this chapter, we consider systems that, once the failure has occurred and the repair has been completed, exhibit identical conditions to that just before the failure. In this case, minimal repair maintenance actions are being carried out in the system environment.

Minimally Invasive Repair of Meta-bones

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2012
Metacarpal and metatarsal fractures are common injuries in small animals and, in most of the cases, can be treated by minimally invasive techniques. Bone plates applied through epi-periosteal tunnels can stabilize meta-bones. Meta-bones III and IV are stabilized by dorsally applied plates.

Pitfalls of Minimally Invasive Fracture Repair

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2020
Minimally invasive fracture repair (MIFR) is the ultimate culmination of current osteosynthesis concepts that emphasize the preservation and enhancement of the biologic components of fracture healing. Although the "less is more" approach to tissue dissection and fracture exposure and handling that defines MIFR has numerous reported advantages over more
