Pages 459-465 | Published online: 09 Apr 2012
 

Abstract

The optimal age replacement policy according to the criterion of Fox [5] is obtained for the model, introduced by Scheaffer [7], containing a continuously increasing maintenance cost factor. The new results beyond the generalisation to a new model are mainly in sensitivity analysis. Examples are given where the optimal replacement age increases with the interest rate, as well as examples of the opposite.
