Chapter 2: Component Replacement Decisions


Problem 1 The following table contains cumulative losses, total costs and
average monthly costs of operation for n = 1, 2, 3, 4. Here
Pn
Li + Rn
AC(n) = i=1
n
where Li stands for loss in productivity during year i with respect to the first
year’s productivity, Ri stands for replacement cost (constant)

Month Productivity Losses Replacement Total Cost Average Cost


1 10000 0 1200 1200 1200
2 9700 300 1200 1500 750
3 9400 600+300 1200 2100 700
4 8900 1100+600+300 1200 3200 800

Clearly, the optimal replacement time is 3 months since the pump is new.

Problem 2 One can use the model from section 2.5 (see 2.5.2). In this problem
Cp = 100, Cf = 200,
Z tp
tp 40000 − tp
R(tp ) = 1 − F (tp ) = 1 − f (z) dz = 1 − =

According to the model,
Cp R(tp ) + Cf (1 − R(tp ))
C(tp ) = =
tp R(tp ) + M (tp )(1 − R(tp ))
40000−tp tp

0.01 , tp = 20000
C(tp ) =

0.01 , tp = 40000
Calculations above indicate that the optimal age is 30000 km.

Problem 3 Firstly, one can find f (t). Since the area below the probability
density curve is equal to 1, the area of each rectangle on the Figure 2.40 is 51 .
It follows then, that

 25000 , t ∈ [0..15000]

f (t) = 25000 , t ∈ [15000..25000]

Secondly,

To find R(t) for the given values of tp one can use Figure 2.40 (R(t) is the
area under f (z) for z > t).

Problem 6 Weibull paper analysis (Figure 1) gives estimations


µ = 49000 km, η = 55000 km, β = 1.7

Figure 1: Problem 6 Weibull plot


SOLUTIONS MANUAL FOR MAINTENANCE REPLACEMENT AND RELIABILITY THEORY
AND APPLICATIONS 2ND EDITION JARDINE

Using the Γ function table (see Appendix 7) and the formula

2 1
σ 2 = η 2 × [Γ(1 + ) − Γ2 (1 + )]
β β

gives

σ 2 = (55000)2 × [1.1765Γ(1.1765) − Γ2 (1.5882)] = 3025 × 106 × (1.0883 − 0.796) =


= 885.2 × 106
µ 49000
σ = 29753 km and therefore σ = 29753 = 1.65. Now we can proceed to Glasser’s
paper analysis (Figure 2)

Figure 2: Problem 6 Glasser’s graph

According to the graph ρ = 0.92, which means 8% of expected improvement,


and Z = −0.6. Furthermore,

tp = µ + Z × σ = 49000 − 0.6 × 29753 = 31148

Problem 7 Firstly, sort the data in increasing order

Figure 4: Problem 7 Glasser’s Block graph

Secondly, it is reasonable to assume that the data belongs to the Weibull


distribution. Then using the median ranks table (see Appendix 8) we get
Weibull graph (Figure 3). From Figure 3 β = 3, µ = 5.7 × 24 = 136.8,
η = 6.5 × 24 = 156.

σ = 50.75. Using the obtained result σµ = 50.75

From Figures 4 and 5: Z = −1.5, ρ = 0.36, tp = 136.8 − 1.5 × 50.75 = 60.68


for Block replacement policy and Z = −1.55, ρ = 0.38, tp = 58.14 for age-based
replacement policy.

Problem 8 Using σµ = 20000 1000 = 20 and Cp = 2 and the Glasser’s graph

improvement).

Problems 12-16 OREST is a user-friendly piece of software designed espe-


cially for solving optimal replacement decision problems. The following screen
shots are meant to give the reader some idea on how to input data and use it
for analysis. At any point the user can access the help file by pressing ”Help”
button in the top right corner of the window.

Figure 8: OREST screen shot

Figure 8 illustrates the main selection window of the program, where you
can choose one of the available options:

• Data Input (see Figure 9), where one can create/change components

• Trend Analysis

• Weibull Analysis, where statistical analysis can be performed and saved/printed

• Deterministic Replacement
• Age Preventive Replacement, where replacement decisions are made.

Figure 9: OREST screen shot

The main questions addressed in problems 12-16 are:


• Prepare the data for OREST
• Fit the Weibul model to data, determine the key parameters and perform
a certain analysis
• Given the ratio between preventive and failure replacement costs, find an
optimal replacement time
• Estimate a number of failures during a specified period of time under the
optimal policy
• Given a replacement policy, find associated expected costs
Here is how OREST can help the user to answer the above questions.
OREST deals with sets of data which are expected to contain independent
samples from the Weibull distribution (see Appendix 2). Essentially, in order
to qualify for that, elements of a set have to be independent. For this reason,
for example, cumulative times to failures will not do. However, the set of inter-
failure times is the one we can use (under the assumption of independence).
Fitting the data set to the Weibull model is done automatically upon press-
ing the correspondent button in the ”Weibull Analysis” window. Further analy-
sis can be performed using graphs of p.d.f., C.d.f, Reliability and failure rate
functions.
At time of creating a new component, values of preventive and failure costs
are fixed. Using this data, the optimal replacement policy can be obtained in
”Age Preventive Replacement” window. Note that every time an analysis is
performed the user has an opportunity to print the report.

Along with the optimal policy, the report contains optimal costs, and more
generally, a cost graph can be plotted illustrating total costs per unit of time
associated with different replacement policies. Using these data one can estimate
correspondent costs during some period of time by simply multiplying the cost
per unit time by the length of a period. Furthermore, one can find the expected
number of failure/preventive replacements by dividing the result by the cost of
failure/preventive replacement.
