TTT-concept and replacements to extend system life

• In a number of papers the current authors have illustrated how the Total Time on Test (TTT) concept can be used when analysing the ordinary age replacement problem and different generalization thereof. In this paper we show that the TTT-concept is very useful also when analysing another replacement problem discussed by C. Derman et al. in which the replacements of a vital component, for which there are n space units, are made with the goal of maximizing the expected system life. (12 refs.)
