Maintenance Optimisation with the Delay Time Model

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NATO ASI F,volume 154))

Summary

The delay time model is an inspection model which has been used extensively in many case studies of the development of recommended maintenance policies both for industrial plant and buildings. An introduction to the methodology is given, together with some recent modelling and inferential developments. The focus is on the estimation of model parameters by fitting to so-called objective data, rather than on the use of subjective data. There is a comprehensive bibliography. Hitherto unpublished work presented here includes statistical inference for multicomponent systems and new ways of modelling imperfect inspection.
