Abstract
The age-dependent block replacement policy is a modified block replacement policy with an age limit for preventive replacements. Under this policy, any failed component is repaired, but only the components whose ages exceed a fixed age limit are replaced preventively at the scheduled maintenance times. Using the compensator method, we compare stochastically the failure counting processes of the age-dependent block replacement policies with different parameters, and show that the age-dependent block replacement policy, although cost effective, leads to more failures than the age and block replacement policies.
