Abstract :
The optimal wear-limit for preventive replacement for an item with wear-dependent failure rate is derived by minimizing the long-run total mean cost rate. The generic term wear connotes any type of degradation that accumulates through use and is observed continuously in time. The optimal strategy has the same form as the age replacement policy
