Optimizing Maintenance: Models with Applications to Marine Industry

Abstract

Past and current replacement models with applications to the marine industry for determining the optimum maintenance strategy are discussed. A new approach to multi-item replacement under budget constraints is presented. This approach considers all replacement decisions of an entire ship fleet (or all component replacements of a single ship) simultaneously. A Lagrangian methodology for the replacement problem is also described.
