โฆ Synopsis
In this paper, we consider a simple repair-time limit replacement problem with imperfect repair, and focus on the problem of determining the optimal repair-time limit which minimizes the expected cost per unit time in the steady-state. Applying the Lorenz transform, we develop a nonparametric method to estimate the optimal repair-time limit from the empirical repair-time data. Numerical examples are considered to calculate the optimal policy and to examine the asymptotic properties of the estimator.

this paper, we consider a different type of repair-cost limit replacement problem with imperfect repair from earlier models. We focus on the problem of determining the timing to stop repairing a unit after it fails, and propose a nonparametric method to estimate the optimal repair-cost limit which m
consider a minimal-repair and replacement problem of a reliability system whose state at a failure is described by a pair of two attributes, i.e., the total number of its past failures and the current failure level. It is assumed that the system is bothered by more frequent and more costly failures
