Abstract
We focus on the analytical modeling of a condition-based inspection/replacement policy for
a stochastically and continuously deteriorating single-unit system. We consider both the
replacement threshold and the inspection schedule as decision variables for this
maintenance problem and we propose to implement the maintenance policy using a multi-
level control-limit rule.
In order to assess the performance of the proposed maintenance policy and to minimize the
long run expected maintenance cost per unit time, a mathematical model for the maintained
system cost is derived, supported by the existence of a stationary law for the maintained
system state.
Numerical experiments illustrate the performance of the proposed policy and confirm that
the maintenance cost rate on an infinite horizon can be minimized by a joint optimization of
the maintenance structure thresholds, or equivalently by a joint optimization of a system
replacement threshold and the aperiodic inspection schedule.
