Abstract: | This paper presents a model for determining the optimal number of minimal repairs before ordering spare for preventive replacement. By introducing the costs of ordering, repair, downtime, replacement, and the salvage value of an un-failed system, the expected long-term cost rates and cost effectiveness are derived. It is shown that, under certain conditions, the optimal number of minimal repairs, which minimizes the cost rate or maximizes the cost effectiveness, is given by a unique solution of an equation. A numerical example is also given for illustration of the proposed model. |
