Preventive Maintenance for k-Out-of-n Model

This chapter is devoted to the development of mathematical methods for Preventive Maintenance (PM) organization for k-out-of-n model using a different optimization criteria. In Sect. 4.1 we consider PM organization with respect to maximization of the availability criteria. Section 4.2 continues these investigations for a cost-type criterion. The PM strategies for the system, whose failures depend not only on number of its filed components but also on its positions in the system, will be under our attention. The investigation is based on order statistics distribution.
