• Optimal replacement last with continuous and discrete policies 

      Zhao, X.; Nakagawa, T.; Zuo, M.J. ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2014 , Article)
      This paper proposes age and periodic replacement last models with continuous, and discrete policies. That is, an operating unit is replaced preventively at time T of operation as a strategic policy, or at a number N of ...
