This paper discusses an imperfect preventive maintenance model for a deteriorating repairable system with consideration of the reliability limitand random maintenance quality. The model is derived from the combination of failure rate adjustment and age over an infinite time horizon. The maintenance intervals are obtained assuming both the failure rate increase factor and age restoration factor are random variables with a uniform distribution. The optimal policy with a sensitivity analysis showing how different cost parameters affect the long run average maintenance cost rate is presented.
