Abstract

In order to balance the deviation time between replacement and failure, a new notion of cost named as deviation cost is taken into account for planning replacement policies. We firstly take up a standard parallel system with n identical units and model replacement policies that are done at planned time and at periodic times. Next, we model again the above replacement policies when the number of units is a random variable that has a Poisson distribution. Thirdly, replacement policies are planned preventively at the completion of random working times. Optimum number of units is scheduled for a total working interval that is constantly and randomly given. Finally, we give reliability functions of k-out-of-n systems for extensions of parallel systems. We give analytical discussions for the above replacement policies and illustrate numerical examples when the failure time of each unit has an exponential distribution.
