A Time-Replacement Policy for Multistate Systems with Aging Components under Maintenance, from a Component Perspective

This study aims for multistate systems (MSSs) with aging multistate components (MSCs) to construct a time-replacement policy and thereby determine the optimal time to replace the entire system. The nonhomogeneous continuous time Markov models (NHCTMMs) quantify the transition intensities among the d...
