An Algorithm for Preventive Maintenance Policy
IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 1986Summary: Simple preventive maintenance (maintenance type 1P) and preventive replacement (maintenance type 2P) are scheduled in such a way that the system does not drop below a minimum reliability. Failure rate after maintenance type 1P lies between ''good as new'' and ''bad as old''.

WARRANTY AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
International Journal of Reliability, Quality and Safety Engineering, 2001For products sold with warranty, preventive maintenance actions by manufacturers and/or buyers have an impact on the total costs for both parties. This paper develops a framework to study preventive maintenance actions when items are sold under warranty and reviews the models that have appeared in the literature.

Imperfect Preventive-Maintenance
IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 1979This paper considers a periodic preventive maintenance (pm) policy with ``minimal repair'' at failure; pm is imperfect. A special case of failure (hazard) rate improvement is postulated wherein pm reduces the failure rate, but does not return the time origin all the way to zero.

Effective maintenance is necessary to minimise further tooth wear and control other dental disease. Restorative dentistry provided without such control is frequently unsuccessful.

Optimal Maintenance Policy with Imperfect Preventive Maintenance
IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 1981This paper considers a maintenance policy with imperfect preventive maintenance (pm). After pm, the failure characteristic of the system is different (worse) from that of correctively maintained system (viz. after a failure). Optimal policy which minimizes the mean cost-rate is discussed.

Industrial Lubrication and Tribology, 1974
IT is always more valuable to prevent trouble before it occurs than to experience a failure and have to break down a machine with its consequent loss of production. Industry has become very preventive‐maintenance minded in recent years and this is a field where tribological knowledge can play a large part.

Optimum Preventive Maintenance Policies
Operations Research, 1960Two types of preventive maintenance policies are considered. A policy is defined to be optimum if it maximizes “limiting efficiency,” i.e., fractional amount of up-time over long intervals. Elementary renewal theory is used to obtain optimum policies. The optimum policies are determined, in each case, as unique solutions of certain integral equations ...

Tools for preventive software maintenance
Proceedings. Conference on Software Maintenance - 1989, 2003Tools for preventive maintenance of software which is written following the object-oriented paradigm are discussed. A set of guidelines, called the Law of Demeter is described, and its implications for software maintenance are discussed (K.J. Lieberherr, I. Holland, 1989).
