AbstractThe main purpose of this paper is to propose several new maintenance policies that can be performed at suitable middle times for trivariate preventive maintenance scenarios. Firstly, characteristics and limitations for the approaches of whichever occurs first and whichever occurs last are analyzed, and their respective maintenance models, which are called first maintenance and last maintenance, are given directly. Secondly, a combined approach of first and last is employed and middle maintenance is proposed. Thirdly, the aforementioned policy is modified to be performed at discrete working cycles, using the method of overtime maintenance. Finally, a new approach of whichever occurs middle is proposed for modelings. We give the analyses of how to formulate the middle maintenances and obtain their expected maintenance cost rates, using the technique of cumulative damage models. Numerical examples are given to compare the optimal policies among first, last, and middle maintenances. Finally, a potential application of middle maintenance is provided for future studies.
