Abstract: In this paper we define an optimization model that drives the choice of a maintenance budgeting. The set of maintenance actions provided by the solution of the optimization model guarantees the required level of reliability for the whole system and minimizes the maintenance cost.

In this paper we address the problem of system quality from a different point of view: starting from the description of the system and from a set of new requirements, we devise the set of actions to be accomplished to obtain a new architecture able to fulfill the new requirements with the minimum cost and guaranteeing a given level of reliability..

Key words: maintenance cost budgeting, planning, cost.
