Abstract :
An optimal age-replacement policy is presented for the system composed of a single piece of equipment and an indicator. The state of the equipment (good or failed) is monitored by the indicator, and both the equipment and the indicator can fail. Our model generalizes one of Barlow & Hunter, in that it duplicates their model when the indicator is perfect.
