Journal ArticleDOI
On the application of mathematical models in maintenance
TL;DR: This paper is concerned with the mathematical modelling of maintenance rather than with management processes relating to maintenance, and developing areas of maintenance modelling are discussed, namely: inspection maintenance; condition based maintenance; maintenance for multi-component systems; and maintenance management information systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on maintenance optimization
Bram de Jonge,Philip A. Scarf +1 more
TL;DR: This study reviews more than two hundred papers on maintenance modeling and optimization that have appeared in the period 2001 to 2018, and distinguishes single-unit and multi-unit systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the impact of optimisation models in maintenance decision making: the state of the art
Rommert Dekker,Philip A. Scarf +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the state of the art in applications of maintenance optimisation models is discussed, and several ways in which models may be used to optimise maintenance, such as case studies, operational and strategic decision support systems, and give examples of each of them.
Journal ArticleDOI
A numerical study of designs for sporting contests
TL;DR: A number of tournament metrics that can be used to measure the success of a sporting contest or tournament are proposed, and how these metrics may be evaluated for a particular tournament design are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the application of a model of condition-based maintenance
TL;DR: The modelling of condition monitoring information for three critical water pumps at a large soft-drinks manufacturing plant is described to predict the distribution of the residual lifetimes of the individual pumps.
