Abstract

Replacement theory for equipment has been investigated by several authors. This paper introduces the ‘delay’ time preparing for replacement, derives the expected cost per unit time, and discusses the optimum replacement policies under several conditions. Three special cases are discussed and numerical examples are presented.
