Recent studies have shown that reusing standby elements during the mission may improve
the mission success probability significantly. However, such a benefit cannot be effectively …

This paper models and optimizes the replacement and maintenance schedule (RMS) for a
heterogeneous two-unit standby system. The system must accomplish a specified amount of …

Intensive research efforts have been dedicated to reliability analysis and optimization of
standby systems. However, only few of the existing models allow a system element to be …

This paper models a dual-unit standby system with non-identical, reusable units that perform
the mission task alternatively according to a pre-specified replacement and maintenance …

Recent studies have shown that elements reusing through preventive replacements is
beneficial in enhancing the mission success probability (MSP) of standby systems. While …

Traditional standby system models have mostly assumed that each element can be online
and used once during the mission time. In practice especially when a long mission task is …

This paper considers 1-out-of-N: G warm standby (WS) systems subject to multiple-phased
mission requirements, where performance, failure behavior, operation cost, replacement …

This paper pioneers the modeling and optimization of a 1-out-of-n standby system with a
required mission time and non-identical components, whose operation times are limited and …

In this paper, mission reliability, expected mission completion time, and cost of non-
repairable 1-out-of-N: G warm standby sparing systems subject to uneven backup actions …

In standby systems, when an online working element fails, a replacement procedure is
initiated to activate a standby unit which will take over the mission task to sustain the system …
