A NOTE ON RELIABILITY ALLOCATION UNDER A PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

A previously published computer program is used as a model in this pap er to deal with a reliability and replacement problem from a Published article. The problem of interest is to determine the reliabilities an d the replacements simultaneously. The minimization of the objective f unction used in this problem corresponds to the maximization of the mi ssion reliability. Presented here are solutions slightly better than t he solution given in the original article. Modelled after a published computer program, the complete computer program and the first Part of its output are included in this paper. This BASIC computer program as is can be run on IBM-compatible personal computers with or without com pilers.
