This paper suggests the optimal periodic preventive maintenance policies after the combination warranty is expired. After the combination warranty is expired, a repairable system undergoes PM periodically and is minimally repaired at each failure. And also the system is replaced by a new system at the N th PM. In this case, we derive the mathematical formula for the expected cost rate per unit time. The optimal number and period for the periodic PM that minimize the expected cost rate per unit time are obtained. Some numerical examples are presented for illustrate purpose.
