  • Abstract
    An item breaks down when it wears continuously beyond a certain threshold. The item is preventively replaced as the wear at periodic inspections exceeds a certain wear limit; on failure, it is replaced immediately. The optimal wear limit for preventive replacement that minimizes the long-run total average-cost rate is derived. A numerical example demonstrates its computability
