Abstract

This study is concerned with the derivation (in the form of a numerical procedure) of an optimal doctrine regarding continuous attendance to, and preventive replacement of, equipment subject to both gradual deterioration and catastrophic failure. Some simple models are considered and, for special cases, explicit formulae are derived.
