What are the effects of the reliability model uncertainties in the maintenance decisions?

Abstract

Most of the works proposed for the design of reliability test plans  are  devoted  to  the  guaranty  of  the  reliability performance  of  a  product  but  scarce  of  them  tackles maintenance  issues.  On  the  other  hand,  classical maintenance  optimization  criteria  rarely  take  into  account the variability of the failure parameters due to lack of data, especially when the data collection in the operating phase is expensive.  The  objective  of  this  paper  is  to  highlight through a numerical experiment the impact of the test plan design  defined  here  by  the  number  of  the  products  to  be tested and the test duration on the performance of a classical condition-based maintenance (CBM) policy
