  • Abstract
    The authors propose a new block replacement policy for a group of nominally identical units. Each unit is individually replaced on failure during a specified time interval. Beyond the failure replacement interval, failed units are left idle until a specified number of failures occur, then a block replacement is performed. The average cost rate for this two-phase block replacement policy is derived and analyzed. The policy yields lower cost rate than two block replacement policies published previously. Numerical examples demonstrate the results
