A note on optimal inventory policies taking account of time value
In this paper, we consider a repair-cost limit replacement problem with imperfect repair and develop a graphical method to determine the optimal repair-cost limit which minimizes the expected cost per unit time in the steady-state, using the Lorenz transform of the underlying repair-cost distribution function. The method proposed can be applied to an estimation problem of the optimal repair-cost limit from empirical repair-cost data. Numerical examples are devoted to examine asymptotic properties...
