Abstract

In this paper we analyze the effects of various nonoptimal operating maintenance policies on the level of service provided by a system of N units, M of which need to be in continuous operation. It is shown that policies that utilize the units' characteristics are more efficient than first in first out (FIFO) or random policies. A comparison between these policies and an optimal one is made with respect to small systems. Furthermore, the problem of assigning priorities in such systems is discussed.
