Selective maintenance policy and cannibalization policy are two very important fleet maintenance policies, but the two fleet maintenance policies have not been considered jointly yet. This paper proposes a selective maintenance model considering cannibalization. First of all, model assumptions are expounded, such as system configuration, system performance, mission description, multiple maintenance actions including cannibalization activity. Then, a non-linear, 0-1 programming model was presented to describe the selective maintenance problem considering cannibalization. Next, a decomposition algorithm based on particle swarm optimization was designed to solve complex model formulated. Finally, a numerical example was provided to verify the validity of the model and effectiveness of solving algorithm.
