Abstract

We consider a continuously monitored system that gradually and stochastically deteriorates. An alarm threshold is set on the system deterioration level for triggering a delayed preventive maintenance operation. A mathematical model is developed to find the value of the alarm threshold that minimizes the asymptotic unavailability. Approximations are derived to improve the numerical optimization.
