Overview
- Discusses solutions to open problems in the analysis and structure of combining replacement with random working cycles by proposing 'replacement overtime', in which a unit is replaced at the first completion of working cycles over time
- Describes several different applications in which replacement overtime can easily be used with other maintenance approaches such as standard periodic replacement, inspection policy, parallel systems, cumulative damage models and others
- Presents results analytically and numerically, with both theoretical and practical aspects explained, providing interesting topics for theoretic research in maintenance and finding practical use in reliability system fields
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Production Engineering (LNPE)

About the authors
Dr. Xufeng Zhao is currently engaged in reliability theory and maintenance policies of stochastic systems, shock models and applications in computer science. His research works related with above topics have been published in European Journal of Operational Research, IEEE Transactions on Reliability, Reliability Engineering & System Safety, International Journal of Systems Science, and so on. He also has finished several book chapters published from Springer, Wiley, and World Scientific. Dr. Zhao is a member of Nagoya Computer and Reliability Research organized by Professor Toshio Nakagawa twenty-five years ago in Japan. He has some joint works with experts in Canada, Korea, Taiwan, and China.
Not only that, Professor Nakagawa has just finished his fifth book from Springer entitled "Random Maintenance Policies" which will be published in 2014. Some of the results obtained in the book has been used into some real models in computer science by his group. Furthermore, Dr. Zhao studied shock and damage models extensively for his Ph.D. dissertation entitled "Studies on Extensive Cumulative Damage Models and Their Applications to Garbage Collections". All of these works serve asfoundation for this note.    Â
