Inspection activities were performed at regular intervals. Once the system was identified to be at defective state by inspection,a maintenance decision needed to be made that whether to replace the defective system immediately or wait till the preset APR time. So a threshold was introduced into the model and called as inspection-based preventive replacement( IPR) threshold. If the distance from the defect identification point to the APR time was longer than the threshold, a preventive replacement( PR) action was made; otherwise PR action was to wait till the APR time. Two models were proposed and compared,and a numerical example was conducted to illustrate the applicability of the model.展开更多

In this system, the failure rate of the component in operation isconstant, and the inspection will control all the processes of the operation. The system isinspected at random points over time to determine whether it is to be replaced. During the process,the replacement decision is based on the number of failed components at the time of inspection.展开更多

At the same time, preventive replacement is used to avoid the possible failure due to the former failure mode.
