The growth of engineering disciplines, such as maintainability and reliability, have been motivated by several factors, which include the ever growing of system complexity as well as the high cost associated to failures repairing activities and productivity reduction. This work adopts a methodology, which includes a hybrid modeling technique that considers the advantages of both stochastic Petri nets (SPN) and reliability block diagrams (RBD) to evaluate maintenance policies with different service level agreement (SLA). Dependability, cost and sustainability are also prominent features considered in the proposed methodology.
