Abstract:

Age replacement policy is concerned with finding an optional time tominimize the cost, at which time the unit is replaced even if itdoes not fail. So far, age replacement policy involving random agehas been proposed. This paper will assume the age of the unit is anuncertain variable, and find the optimal time to replace the unit.

Block replacement policy with uncertain lifetimes

Block replacement policy is a type of preventive replacement policies where the units are always replaced at failure or at a scheduled time periodically. Assuming the lifetimes of the units are uncertain variables, this paper studies the block replacement policy in an uncertain environment. To deal with the different constraints a decision maker may face, three different criterions are used to ...

Faustmann in an uncertain policy environment

This paper deals with optimal forest rotation age and silvicultural investment under policy or regulatory uncertainty to which wasteful deforestation and lack of reforestation and afforestation efforts in the developing countries and loss of old growth forests and biodiversity in the developed countries are attributed. Incorporating a stochastic uncertainty factor into the familiar deterministi...

Uncertain block replacement policy with no replacement at failure

The block replacement policy with no replacement at failure means that a unit is always replaced at fixed time, but not replaced at failure. In this paper, the lifetime of the unit is assumed to be an uncertain variable, the model of expected cost per unit time following no replacement at failure policy is proposed, and the existence condition of the optimal replacement time is given. Furthermo...

The optimal age-based replacement policy for systems subject to shocks

In this article, two different systems subject to shocks occurring based on a non-homogeneous Poisson process (NHPP) are analyzed. Type –I system is consisted of a single unit and type –II system is consisted of two parallel units in which both units operate identically and simultaneously. In type –I system occurrence of a shock causes system stopping and consequently will be received minimal r...
