Optimum Replacement Policies for a Used Unit
In many situations, it may be more economical to use a used unit than to do a new one. This paper considers an age replacement policy and a periodic replacement policy with minimal repair at failure for a used unit of age x. We discuss optimum replacement policies which minimize the expected cost rates for a specified age x. Further, we obtain an upper bound of an optimum time for an age replac...
متن کاملOptimal Policies for Inventory Systems with Concave Ordering Costs
In this paper we characterize the structure of optimal policies for periodic review inventory systems with concave ordering costs. By extending the Scarf (1958) model to systems with piecewise linear concave ordering costs, we show the optimality of generalized (s, S) policies for general demand distributions. We do so by (a) introducing a conditional monotonicity property for the order-up-to l...
متن کامل. e ESTIMATION OF OPTIMAL BLOCK REPLACEMENT POLICIES
In the following the symbol 0 is used to denote the composition of functions. A superscript of the form (p) where p is a nonnegative integer will indicate the p-th derivative of a function. For example, if Hand g are differentiable functions, then Hog(I)(t) = ftH(g(t)). Wherever used, K1, K2, ... will represent appropriate constants. E and P will be used for expectation and probability, respect...
متن کاملOptimal Replacement Policies Under Environment-Driven Degradation
We examine the problem of optimally maintaining a stochastically degrading system using preventive and reactive replacements. The system’s rate of degradation is modulated by an exogenous stochastic environment process, and the system fails when its cumulative degradation level first reaches a fixed deterministic threshold. The objective is to minimize the total expected discounted cost of prev...
متن کاملNearly Optimal Competitive Online Replacement Policies
This paper studies the following online replacement problem. There is a real function f(t), called the ow rate, deened over a nite time horizon 0; T]. It is known that m f(t) M for some reals 0 m < M. At time 0 an online player starts to pay money at the rate f(0). At each time 0 < t T the player may changeover and continue paying money at the rate f(t). The complication is that each such chang...
