CHANGES OF FAILURE DISTRIBUTION AFTER A MAINTENANCE POLICY HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED

Abstract

In general the available literature on maintenance policies do not discuss the question of failure distribution under preventive maintenance. This is important because, maintenance planners may wish to know the degree of improvements that may be achieved by introducing a maintenance policy, which may enable them to modify the maintenance interval if necessary. In this paper an algorithm has been worked out in order to generate the failure distribution under a preventive maintenance policy.
