Abstract

This report describes a maintenance policy of a nonmonitored part in the presence of a set of monitored parts. This policy is called (ni,N) policy. The applications of this policy to the maintenance of a standby power unit and to a fire extinguisher have been described with the actual data. The optimal values for these two examples have been computed. A possible extension of this model to a system consisting of a set of non-monitored parts in the presence of a set of monitored parts has been proposed.
