An opportunistic age-based maintenance model is used to reduce maintenance costs for two-unit systems with type Ⅱ failures.An expression was derived for the long-term expected cost using renewal theory based arguments.The optimal opportunistic maintenance policy was then determined to minimize the expected cost.The model was applied to the maintenance of a recycled hydrogen compressor of a chemical factory to validate the model feasibility.A sensitivity analysis was used to identify the model's sensitivity factors.This research indicates that for mild conditions,the opportunistic age-based maintenance policy can significantly reduce the total maintenance costs for the two-unit series system.This research gives helpful insight into equipment maintenance decision making in the real world.
