Joint sequential decision of maintenance and spare parts inventory for multi-unit repairable systems

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Joint decision-making for preventive maintenance and spare parts inventory in multi-component systems is crucial for industrial applications, especially as many expensive, complex equipments can be repaired and reused.This study investigates this joint decision-making using a discrete multi-state degradation model, focusing on the unique characteristics of repairable systems, including their structure and maintenance strategies.First, the operational interactions among production, maintenance, and inventory are analysed to derive state transition probability models for degradation and
