Abstract
Improvement factors in hazard rate and age for a sequential preventative maintenance (PM) policy are introduced. Two imperfect PM models are analyzed: (1) PM reduces the hazard rate while it increases with the number of PMs, and (2) PM reduces the age. The PM is done at intervals x k (k =1,2, . . . , N ) and is imperfect. The optimal policies to minimize the mean cost rates are discussed. The optimal PM sequences {x k} are computed for a Weibull distribution
