The asset replacement problem state of the art.

Ansaripoor, Amir H.; Oliveira, Fernando S.; Liret, Anne

Abstract

This book chapter outlines the different modelling approaches for realising sustainable operations of asset replacement and studying the impact of the economic life, the repair-cost limit and comprehensive cost minimisation models. In particular it analyses in detail the parallel replacement models and suggests a new model that addresses some of the issues not yet solved in this area. Finally a discussion about the limitations of the current models from a theoretical and applied perspective is proposed and identifies some of the challenges still faced by academics and practitioners working on this topic.
