Condition-Based Predictive Order Model for a Mechanical Component following Inverse Gaussian Degradation Process

An efficient condition-based predictive spare ordering approach is the key to guarantee safe operation, improve service quality, and reduce maintenance costs under a predefined lower availability threshold. In this paper, we propose a condition-based predictive order model (CBPO) for a mechanical co...
