If D(T ) is plotted against T , the result can be shown in Fig. 7. It can be noted that that the inspection pe- riod is estimated to be 5.18 operating hours (0.216 days) when the downtime is minimized. In a similar way, the expected cost model can also be formulated (Pillay, 2001). The C(T) curve is shown in Fig. 8 (Pillay, 2001). It can be noted that the inspection time is 7.24 operating hours (0.302 days) when the cost is mini- mized. When both D(T) and C(T) are used to deter- mine the best inspection interval, D(T) can be plot- ted again C(T) as shown in Fig. 9. It can be noted that no inspection interval gives minimum D(T) and C(T) simultaneously. The best compromise interval should be between points 1 and 2. Of course, if nec- essary, more objectives, such as safety criticality, can be added to make operational decisions with an aim of achieving an optimal profitability.<br>The use of a delay-time model within a preven- tive maintenance system would be useful to deter- mine inspection strategies. It may be worth mention- ing that in the above, the optimal inspection interval
