Abstract

Selective maintenance is of crucial importance in the multi-state systems because of the necessity of running consecutive missions with a limited break. This paper presents a novel approach based on Game Theory for the problem of selective maintenance in the case of multi-state systems under the influence of stochastic dependency. Because of the priority of customer’s opinion in today’s world, the Stackelberg model is used in order to show the interaction between the customer and workshop. In this model, first, the customer, as the leader, introduce the suggested contract containing the level of system reliability for maximizing desirability. Consequently, the workshop, as the follower, determines costs based on details of the proposed contract. Numerical examples are studied the model performance, and the sensitivity analysis of results about the key parameters of the model is probed.
