The Optimum Repair Limit Replacement Policies

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 1974
This paper considers a single unit system which is first repaired if it fails. If the repair is not completed up to the fixed repair limit time then the unit under repair is replaced by a new one. The cost functions are introduced for the repair and the replacement of the failed unit.

Replacement Policies with Maintenances

2017
Maintenance actions, such as preventive and corrective maintenances [1], minor and major maintenances [39], routine and non-routine maintenances [40, 41], etc., have been proposed in pairs in literatures.

Replacement Policies with Used Items Constraint

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 1983
Various block replacement policies with used items have appeared in the literature. These policies use new as well as used items (created by the policies) for replacement. In these policies no constraint is placed on the number of used items used in each cycle.

Optimal Replacement Policies

1992
In Section 3.4.2 we considered a model for analysing the availability of units which are replaced under a preventive policy. The purpose of the maintenance policy is to increase the operating time of the units. Now, consider one unit (component) and suppose that the model analysed in Section 3.4.2 holds for all replacement timesT > 0.

Replacement Policies fro traffic control signals

IMA Journal of Management Mathematics, 1998
Summary: We discuss the application of two types of maintenance policy for multi-component systems to find good schedules for the replacement of lightbulbs in traffic control systems. Both types are based on the fact that in general many lamps function close together, implying that economies of scale can be obtained by combining replacements.

Inspection and replacement policies

Journal of Applied Probability, 1980
In this article we examine a breakdown model in which the system's status can be determined only by a test. Upon detection of failure the system must be replaced by a new identical one. The costs incurred include cost of inspection, operating costs, failure cost and a cost associated with planned replacements. Throughout the paper we restrict attention

On Optimal Replacement Policies—Random Horizon

Operations Research, 1994
A system with a functional life of T units of time requires a certain functional part for its operation. If this part fails before the failure of the system, it has to be replaced immediately to keep the system in operation. Two brands are available for replacements. These two brands differ in unit costs and life distributions.

Nearly Optimal Competitive Online Replacement Policies

Mathematics of Operations Research, 1997
This paper studies the online replacement problem. In this problem an online player is engaged at each time in one activity. Associated with each activity are a changeover cost and flow rate. While involved in an activity the player's budget is depleted at the activity's flow rate.

General adaptive replacement policies

Proceedings of the 4th international symposium on Memory management, 2004
We propose a general scheme for creating adaptive replacement policies with good performance and strong theoretical guarantees. Specifically, we show how to combine any two existing replacement policies so that the resulting policy provably can never perform worse than either of the original policies by more than a small factor. To show that our scheme

Random Periodic Replacement Policies

2014
When large and complex systems consist of many kinds of units, we should make minimal repair at each failure, and make the planned replacement or preventive maintenance at periodic times.
