Optimum Replacement Policies for a Used Unit
نویسنده
چکیده
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 replacement model and an optimum age of a used unit for a periodic replacement model when the replacement time is previously specified.

Note on History of Age Replacement Policies
This paper tries to trace our research history briefly from Barlow and Proschan to attain general replacement models. We begin with a random age replacement policy that is planned at a random time Y and call it as random replacement. When the distribution of Y becomes a degenerate distribution placing unit mass at T, age replacement is formulated. We obtain the general formulas for optimum repl...

The study was conducted to determine optimum dietary inclusion level of Glyricidia leaf protein concentrate (GLPC), for growing rabbits. Thirty five weaned rabbits of mixed sexes were weighed and randomly allocated to five dietary treatments which contained 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% GLPC for diets 1 to 5, respectively in a completely randomized design. Diet 1 served as the control diet.Each treatmen...
متن کاملAn Improvement in WRP Block Replacement Policy with Reviewing and Solving its Problems
One of the most important items for better file system performance is efficient buffering of disk blocks in main memory. Efficient buffering helps to reduce the widespeed gap between main memory and hard disks. In this buffering system, the block replacement policy is one of the most important design decisions that determines which disk block should be replaced when the buffer is full. To o...

متن کاملA Replacement Policy for Buffer Management in Iptv Services
Replacement policy defines the enhancement factor in deciding the system performance. Many different policies have different effects on the system performance, but still there exist performance gap between processors and memory system. In the IPTV services it provides the various services to the user as per their request, the proposed policy is based on the no of hit count and miss count on the...
