• 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 ...
    • Random number of units for K-out-of-n systems 

      Ito, Kodo; Zhao, Xufeng; Nakagawa, Toshio ( Elsevier Inc. , 2017 , Article)
      This paper takes up the reliability and preventive replacement problems for a K-out-of-n system, where K is a stochastic parameter provided. Firstly, we consider the case when K is predefined as constant numbers as is done ...
