Summary: We consider shocks as a method of burn-in in discrete and continuous heterogeneous populations. Burn-in is a widely used engineering method of elimination of defective items before they are shipped to customers or put into field operation. In conventional burn-in procedures, components or systems are subject to a period of simulated operation prior to actual usage and those which failed during this period are scrapped and discarded. In this paper, we assume that the ‘weak’ items are more susceptible to elimination via shocks and therefore this method can be considered as burn-in. Optimal severity levels of these shocks that minimize the defined expected costs are investigated.
