Maintenance Overtime Policies in Reliability Theory Models with Rand

This book introduces a new concept of replacement in maintenance and reliability theory. Replacement overtime, where replacement occurs at the first completion of a working cycle over a planned time, is a new research topic in maintenance theory and also

Preface

Maintenance theory is basically how to make appropriate maintenances at suitable times to prevent failures for an objective system. Classic maintenance theory was mathematically established by Barlow and Proschan [1] 50 years ago. After that, a great part of maintenance models and a variety of maintenance policies, such as preventive replacement, preventive maintenance, inspection, etc., were summarized systematically in [2, 3]. To understand maintenance theory and master reliability engineering, we have to learn probability, statistics, and stochastic processes because reliability phenomena occurs randomly. The elementary textbook for graduate students, researchers, and engineers to learn readily reliability theory was published [4], which was written in an easy style on stochastic processes, and all examples are quoted fittingly from reliability and maintenance models. It is well known generally in maintenance theory that an optimum replacement policy should be non-random [
