The paper deals with systems suffered from gradual deterioration. To avoid functional failures and
disastrous consequences, such systems should be monitored and preventively maintained. And to promote the
maintenance effectiveness, an unequal time-interval maintenance policy was brought forward to substitute fixedinterval
preventive maintenance strategy. At the same time, preventive and corrective maintenance actions are
both assumed to be imperfect, and their impact on the system is expressed by the increment of failure rate. The
case study shown that the unequal time-interval maintenance policy proposed in the paper is of help to promote
the availability of the system.
