AbstractThe focus of the paper is the optimization of condition-based maintenance decisions within the contexts of physical asset management. In particular, the analysis of a preventive replacement policy of the control-limit type for a deteriorating system subject to inspections at discrete points of time is presented. Cox's PHM with a Weibull baseline hazard function and time dependent stochastic covariates is used to describe the failure rate of the system. The methods of estimating model parameters and the calculation of the optimal policy are given. The structure of the decision-making software EXAKT is presented. Experience with collecting, preprocessing and using real oil and vibration data is reported.RésuméDans ce rapport il s'agit de l'optimisation du processus décisionnel par rapport à un programme de l'entretien par surveillance de la condition des machines. Plus spécifiquement on décrit l'analyse d'une politique de maintenance préventive appliqué à un système qui se détériore mais qui est sujet aux inspections aux moments précis. Le modèle par Cox qui si traite aux risques proportionnelles (PHM) comprennant une ligne de base Wiebull ainsi que des co-variants stochastiques est employé dans le bût de décrire le taux de défaults du système. Des méthodes pour effectuer l'estimation des paramètres du modèle ainsi que le calcul de la politque optimale sont présentés. L'architecture du logiciel décisionnel, EXAKT, est décrit. On inclut, également, dans ce rapport, de l'experience sur le collecte, le traitement, et l'usage des données provenant d'un programme d'analyse d'huile et de la vibration.Key words:: condition-based maintenanceproportional-hazards modelMarkov processcost minimizationdecision softwareMots-clés:: programme de l'entretien par surveillance de la condition des machinesmodelisation des risques proportionnelles (PHM)processus Marcovminimisation des coûtslogiciel décisionnel Additional informationNotes on contributorsD.
