Zusammenfassung: | The most commonly used probabilistic model in reliability studies is the Perfect Renewal Process (PRP), which is characterized by the condition or type of maintenance represented: once the maintenance activities are executed, the equipment is restored to its original condition, leaving it “as good as new.” It is widely used since it represents an optimistic state when an item is replaced, assuming a perfect operational condition of the item after the maintenance. Some models have been developed for determining optimum preventive maintenance (PM) based on different criteria, and almost all aimed at PRP reliability modeling. The contribution of this paper is to analyze a model for determining the optimal preventive maintenance policy for a long time run under PRP and developing a general and chart-based tool for the problem, making it easier to solve the day-to-day practice and operation of equipment. As a result, a generalized chart was developed to support maintenance decisions through the elaboration of an original isometric table and complemented with a step-by-step methodology to determine the optimum time in which the preventive maintenance activities must be implemented. In most cases, these types of maintenance activities will consider a replacement activity. |
