The used equmen should be ocused because o alure rae s hgher han he new one less relably. The ugradng acon suable PM are necessary o decrease alure rae, moreover hey can reduce he oal manenance cos.

Ths olcy s aly rom sequenal PM olcy or leased equmen whch a un s revenvely mananed a unequal me nervals.

The lease erod s dvded n o wo sages whch s he rs he second lease erod. Each erod have equal me nervals or PM acons, bu he requency o each PM acons wll be deren n he rs he second lease erod e.g., he rs Paarasaya Boonyaha s wh he Thammasa Unversy, Bango, Thal (corresondng auhor o rovde hone: ; e-mal: boonyaha@homal.com).
