A system undergoes minimal repair during [ 0, TI with a failure replacement on first failure during [ T , a ] , or a planned replacement if the system is still functioning at elapsed time a. Repairs and replacements are not necessarily instantaneous. An expression is obtained for the asymptotic expe

β¦ Synopsis
A general age replacement is introduced which incorporates minimal repair, planned and unplanned replacements, and costs which depend on time. Finite and infinite horizon results are obtained. Various special cases are considered. Furthermore, a shock model with general cost structure is considered.

This article presents the mathematical background for analyzing maintenance policies with minimal repair. Standard maintenance policies are summarized. A general failure model is introduced which allows a unifying treatment of more recent maintenance policies with minimal repair. In particular, repa
