A multi-criteria optimal replacement policy for a system subject to shocks

A system is subject to shocks that arrive according to a non-homogeneous Poisson process. As these shocks occur, the system experiences one of two types of failures: a type-I failure (minor), rectified by a minimal repair; or a type-II failure (catastrophic) that calls for a replacement. In this study, we consider a multi-criteria replacement policy based on system age, nature of failure, and entire repair-cost history. Under such a policy, the system is replaced at planned life time T, or at the nth type-I failure, or at the kth type-I failure (k
