Performance-based maintenance contracts (PBMCs) are modern contracts that should allow road maintenance entities to contract maintenance activities more successfully and generate money value. In the case of Montenegro, a gradual approach of PBMC introduction is recommended through a hybrid contract for routine road maintenance. Hybrid contract implementation will enable a lower level of client risk in the early stages of PBM contract. Game theory is used for selection of an adequate model for hybrid contract structure in terms of size and nature of the BoQ elements. In addition to the estimated or charged quantities of works from previous contracts, the model also includes parameters that to some extent take into account the experience and expertise of contractors and clients, but also the availability of road data. In order for model to be applied, historical data from traditional road maintenance contracts, which were implemented in the previous period in Montenegro, are used.

“…In recent years, PBC has been widely applied in various fields, therefore the amount of academic research related to PBC is also gradually increasing. Nevertheless, the main research attention is put on contracts [11,12], risks [13][14][15][16], incentives [17], and performance metrics [18]. Tan [11] proposed a new analytical model, which helps to determine the parameters and analyze contracts.…”

With the further development of service-oriented, performance-based contracting (PBC) has been widely adopted in industry and manufacturing. However, maintenance optimization problems under PBC have not received enough attention. To further extend the scope of PBC’s application in the field of maintenance optimization, we investigate the condition-based maintenance (CBM) optimization for gamma deteriorating systems under PBC. Considering the repairable single-component system subject to the gamma degradation process, this paper proposes a CBM optimization model to maximize the profit and improve system performance at a relatively low cost under PBC. In the proposed CBM model, the first inspection interval has been considered in order to reduce the inspection frequency and the cost rate. Then, a particle swarm algorithm (PSO) and related solution procedure are presented to solve the multiple decision variables in our proposed model. In the end, a numerical example is provided so as to demonstrate the superiority of the presented model. By comparing the proposed policy with the conventional ones, the superiority of our proposed policy is proved, which can bring more profits to providers and improve performance. Sensitivity analysis is conducted in order to research the effect of corrective maintenance cost and time required for corrective maintenance on optimization policy. A comparative study is given to illustrate the necessity of distinguishing the first inspection interval or not.

“…In recent years, with the wide application of PBC, the research on PBC has gradually increased. However, most existing studies on PBC concentrate on contracts [13,14], risks [15][16][17][18], incentives [19,20], and performance metrics [21]. Tan [14] developed a distribution-free contract that sets the guaranteed energy savings level based on the mean and the standard deviation of the energy savings and the profit-sharing ratio between the energy service companies (ESCO) and the energy user.…”

As a new form of support contract, performance-based contracting (PBC) has been extensively adopted in industry and manufacturing recent years. However, maintenance optimization problems under PBC have not received enough attention. In order to further expand the application of PBC in the field of maintenance optimization, we investigate the condition-based maintenance (CBM) optimization for gamma deteriorating systems under PBC. Considering the repairable single-component system subject to the gamma degradation process, this paper proposes a CBM optimization model with an objective of maximizing the profit and improving system performance at a lower cost under PBC. In the proposed CBM model, first inspection interval is considered to reduce the inspection frequency and the cost. Then, a particle swarm algorithm (PSO) and related solution procedure are presented in order to solve the multiple decision variables in our proposed model. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of our proposed model. Through comparing the proposed policy with the conventional one, the superiority of our proposed policy is proved, which can bring more profits to providers and improve performance. Sensitivity analysis is conducted to investigate the effect of corrective maintenance cost and time required for corrective maintenance to optimization policy. Comparative study is given to illustrate the necessity of distinguishing first inspection interval and repeat inspection interval.
