    On Optimal Maintenance of Degrading Multistate Systems With State-Dependent Cost of Repair
    (Wiley, 2021) Finkelstein, Maxim; Eryilmaz, Serkan
    This article considers an optimal maintenance policy for the multistate systems with the finite number of states. Each state is described by its level of performance ranging from the perfect one to the zero level for the state of failure. Moreover, we assume that the cost of preventive maintenance (PM; i.e., repair/rejuvenation in our case) also depends on the state of a system. Based on the proposed policy, the expected cost per unit of time is defined and the conditions for the existence of the unique and finite PM time are obtained in terms of dynamic reliability characteristics of the system. The results are applied to the three-state Markovian system and a parallel system with n components. The latter is also discussed for the case of the positively dependent components.

    A Note on Optimization Problems of a Parallel System With a Random Number of Units
    (World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2017) Eryilmaz, Serkan
    This paper is concerned with a parallel system that have a random number of units. The distribution of the number of units is assumed to follow a power series class of distributions which contains well-known distributions such as modified or truncated Poisson, geometric, and logarithmic distributions. Optimal number of units and replacement time for the system which minimizes the mean cost rate are computed. The results extend the results in the literature from Poisson distribution to a wider class of distributions.
