Abstract

This paper presents a cost minimisation model for an optimal design of a mixed series-parallel system with deteriorating components. The model incorporates warranty, periodic preventive maintenance, and minimal repair in the design of system configuration. Imperfect repair is adopted to model the effect of preventive maintenance. Both free and pro-rata warranty policies are considered. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the application of this model.
