Abstract

Preventive maintenance (PM) is a maintenance program with activities initiated at predetermined intervals, or according to prescribed criteria, and intended to reduce the probability of failure, or the degradation of the functioning of an item. In the literature, a number of PM models have been introduced to depict the effectiveness of PM. Based on these models, approaches to scheduling PM policies have been considerably studied. This paper attempts to review existing PM models, and investigate their inter-relationships. We then categorize these models into three classes: linear, nonlinear, and a hybrid of both. These three PM model classes depict the relationships of the hazard functions before, and after a PM. Possible extensions to these three PM models are discussed. The statistical properties for models are derived, and approaches to optimizing the PM policy are given.
