Abstract :
A system with a special operating unit is considered. We determine when the spare unit should be delivered and replaced for the original one, where the delivery time is considered. Four models are introduced and the delivery policy for each model is found which maximizes the s-expected net earning rate (with no discount) or the total s-expected net earnings (with discount).
