Scheduling spares with exponential lifetimes in a two-component parallel system
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 July 2016
Abstract
Consider a two-component parallel system. There is a stockpile of n spares, spare i having lifetime Xi, exponentially distributed with rate µi. The system breaks down when neither component functions. Every time a spare expires it has to be replaced, to avoid system breakdown. We investigate the policies which maximize the expected lifetime of the system using these n spares.
