Optimal Maintenance Strategies for Repairable Systems with General Degree of Repair

Abstract

Our project focuses on a single unit system which is subject to random failure. The age of the system in service is maintained as a control variable. Upon failure, an age-dependent maintenance action specifying the degree of repair is taken by a controller. By employing analytical tools and numerical procedures, we investigate and characterize the structures of the optimal repair policy under a discounted cost optimality criterion. Special analytical and numerical effort is directed throughout the study for the development of efficient computational procedures for the optimal strategy.
