Summary

This paper considers a repair limit replacement model for a single-unit system taking account of the lead time to replace a new unit. It discusses the optimum repair limit replacement policies minimizing the expected cost per unit time in the steady-state. Numerical examples of such optimum policies are also presented.

Zusammenfassung

In dieser Arbeit wird für ein System, das aus einer Einheit besteht, ein Instandhaltungsmodell mit begrenzter Reparaturzeit betrachtet, das die Vorbereitungszeit zur Installation einer neuen Einheit berücksichtigt. Es wird die optimale reparaturzeitbegrenzte Instandhaltungspolitik diskutiert, die die erwarteten Kosten je Einheitszeit im Gleichgewichtszustand minimiert. Numerische Beispiele derartiger optimaler Politiken werden ebenfalls gegeben.
