Abstract: The preventive maintenance strategy of a single component repairable system is studied in this paper. The system is subject to random external shocks during operation. The shock has two types: extreme shock and $\delta$-shock. When the working time reaches to a certain value $T$, the preventive maintenance will be carried out, preventive maintenance restores the state of the system to the state it was in after the last repair. There is a certain probability of delayed repair after the system failure, and the system will be replaced by a completely new one after the $N$th failure.According to the renewal reward theory, an expression for the expected cost per unit time of long-term operation is derived by using the replacement strategy $(T,N)$. Finally the feasibility of the model is verified by numerical examples, and the sensitivity analysis of some parameters is made, which can guide enterprises to carry out preventive maintenance of different systems.

Key words: extreme shock, $\delta$-shock, geometric process, preventive maintenance, maintenance strategy
