TL;DR: The model proposed is motivated by imperfect repair models, but extended to model preventive maintenance as one of several “competing risks” to avoid problems of identifiability previously reported in connection with imperfect Repair models.
Abstract: We investigate the mathematical modelling of maintenance and repair of components that can fail due to a variety of failure mechanisms. Our motivation is to build a model, which can be used to unveil aspects of the quality of the maintenance performed. The model we propose is motivated by imperfect repair models, but extended to model preventive maintenance as one of several “competing risks”. This helps us to avoid problems of identifiability previously reported in connection with imperfect repair models.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple inequality relating the Perron-Frobenius eigenvalues of two ML-matrices can be obtained by performing a limiting operation on an inequality by Bapat [Amer. Math. Monthly 96 (1989) 137].
