Abstract

By taking into account that failure rate will increase with the rose of maintenance times, the recursion relationship of failure rate before and after preventive maintenance was built up concerning with the concept of age reduction factor. The main contribution is to present an optimal policy research model in finite time horizon for parallel systems based on reliability constrains. Adjacent problem was also theoretically solved, and the change of system's maintenance cost along with reliability constrain was researched.
