Abstract
This paper considers three replacement models with random and wearout failures; a) the unit is replaced at failure, b) the unit undergoes minimal repair at failure, and c) the unit is replaced at failure only in a wearout failure period. Optimum replacement policies which minimize the s-expected cost rate for each model are discussed.Keywords
