Condition-Based Maintenance Policy under Imperfect Inspection Using Monte-Carlo Simulation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Condition-based Maintenance (CBM), which can efficiently improve the performance of the deteriorating system, would be influenced by imperfect inspection in practice. Aiming at this problem, a new CBM model under imperfect inspection is presented for deteriorating system, which described by Gamma process. The system is inspected periodically, and a preventive maintenance is performed if the degradation level exceeds a threhold. The inspection is imperfect, that means the measurements contain errors, and the CBM model should take these measure errors into account. The algorithm is shown to estimate the long run cost rate using Monte-Carlo method. Through numerical example, the influence of mesurement error over long run cost is analyzed. Therefore, the correctness and rationality of the model are proved.
