The type I delayed repair policy

ln this work we introduce a new maintenance policy called the delayed repair policy. For delayed repair models, repair facilities are not always available. If the repair facilities are not available and a failure of the system occurs, the repair is delayed until the repair facilities are available again. In this work, we suppose that the repair facilities are available only during a time interval of the working period. We study this maintenance policy under the designation type I delayed repair policy. We analyze this strategy repair and we obtain bounds for the optimal type I delayed repair policy.
