This article presents the mathematical background for analyzing maintenance policies with minimal repair. Standard maintenance policies are summarized. A general failure model is introduced which allows a unifying treatment of more recent maintenance policies with minimal repair. In particular, repair cost limit maintenance policies are considered. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
