The existing strategies of maintenance and repair are discussed and a new strategy based on the control of the residual life is presented. It is assumed that in the future, the main maintenance and repair operations will be focused on minimizing this residual life, i.e. on the increase in the service life. It is proved that this maintenance organization strategy for the maintenance and repair optimization allows minimizing the flow of random failures of components during operation and increasing their service life (for a group of the same components) to a maximum. The work on the selection and justification of the life parameters controlled in this strategy has been performed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
