Abstract: | The authors consider a piece of equipment that is subject to breakdown. If breakdowns are very costly, it may be attractive to undertake preventive maintenance on a regular basis. The authors model the time until breakdown as a discrete random variable whose probability distribution is not exactly known. An optimal Bayesian strategy for selecting the preventive maintenance interval (T) is developed. Two simple heuristic methods are presented. |
