Abstract

In this paper we investigated a replacement model with two types of repairs. Repairs are classified into minimal and perfect repair. An operating unit is completely replaced whenever it reaches age ${\tau}({\tau}>0)$(planned replacement). If it fails at age $t<{\tau}$, it is either restored by a entire unit with probability p(t)(perfect repair), or it undergoes minimal repair with probability $\bar{p}(t)=1-p(t)$. After a planned replacement, the procedure is repeated.
