In this paper, we consider a replacement model with minimal repair based on a cumulative repair-cost limit policy, where the information of all repair costs is used to decide whether the system is repaired or replaced. As a failure occurs, the system experiences one of the two types of failures: a t

β¦ Synopsis
This paper considers the following two policies: (i) the system is replaced on type ll failure before age T or on any failure after age T, and (ii) the system is replaced on type H failure before age T or on type I failure where if the expected cost of repair, found by inspection, exceeds a predetermined cost limit or any failure after age T. Costs due to inspection, replacement and minimal repair are considered. The optimal value ofT is obtained, in both the policies, that minimises the cost rate.

## Abstract This paper considers a periodical replacement model based on a cumulative repairβcost limit, whose concept uses the information of all repair costs to decide whether the system is repaired or replaced. The failures of the system can be divided into two types. One is minor failure that i
