Abstract :
Most of the mathematical methods to decide the time interval of inspection are established by reliability theory, but most of them are difficult to apply to practical plant machinery. In this paper, we propose a decision-making method for the inspection time interval for plant machinery maintenance by a genetic algorithm (GA) when the plant machines are preserved by time-based maintenance (TBM)
