Reliability Modeling for Multistate System with Preventive Maintenance under Customer Demand

The performance level of a multistate system (MSS) can vary among different values rather than only two states (perfect functioning and complete failure). To improve the reliability of MSSs, a maintenance strategy has been adopted to satisfy customer demand, and reliability modeling of MSS with prev...

description The performance level of a multistate system (MSS) can vary among different values rather than only two states (perfect functioning and complete failure). To improve the reliability of MSSs, a maintenance strategy has been adopted to satisfy customer demand, and reliability modeling of MSS with preventive maintenance and customer demand is proposed. According to the regular degradation and random failure at each state, based on the Markov random process, the proposed MSS with preventive maintenance can be modeled to satisfy the customer demand in a specific state. This model can also be adapted to compute other reliability indices. Based on this model, the effect of different preventive maintenance actions on the reliability indices can be analyzed and further compared. Two numerical examples have been illustrated to show the validity of the proposed model. The reliability model presented in this study can be used to assess the type of MSS and help reliability engineers to compare different maintenance actions quantitatively and make optimal decisions.
