A Fleet Maintenance System. System Design Model.

Abstract

A general model for the design of fleet maintenance systems involving several crews working in sequence is developed. Emphasis is placed on optimizing the system for scheduled periodic maintenance activities. Results are given for the case where crew service times are exponentially distributed. When mean service times for all crews are equal, an optimal system configuration is determined as a function of the number of crews, cost of crew activities and cost of a fleet unit's idle time. Additional keywords: Queueing Theory; Reliability Theory; Preventive Maintenance; Mathematical models; Cost models; Operations research; and Naval research. (Author)
