X.Wang, J.Yang, and J.Huang, “Optimal Replacement Policies Based on Cumulative Damage and Inspection Cost Limit.” Quality and Reliability Engineering International (2026): . https://doi.org/10.1002/qre.70217 1 Introduction In practice, the age replacement policy, originally given by Barlow and Hunter [1], is a common and fundamental maintenance policy in which a system is changed at a predetermined age T $T$ or at failure.

Abstract This paper proposes an energy-efficient robust machine scheduling problem with the makespan. Uncertain processing times are modelled by the multi-scenario approach. The efficiency objective is to minimise the min–max criterion, and the energy objective is to minimise the average total energy consumption across scenarios. Specifically, the energy-efficient robust scheduling problem is discussed in the context of unrelated parallel machines.

Abstract This paper studies some usual stochastic ordering properties of aggregate claim amounts under the Archimedean copula. Some results on the usual stochastic order of aggregate claim amounts in the independent case are shown to still hold when the random variables are dependent under the Archimedean copula. Thus, these results generalize some known results in the literature. An example is also provided to illustrate the established results.
