A model is presented for a system which consists of n i.i.d units. Hazard rates of these units are increasing in time. A unit is replaced at failure or when the age of a unit exceeds T, whichever occurs first. When a unit is replaced, all the operating units with their age in the interval (T-w,T) are replaced. Both failure replacement and active replacement create the opportunities to replace other units preventively. This policy allows joint replacements and avoids the disadvantages resulting from replacement of new units, down time, and unrealistic assumptions for distributions of unit life. An algorithm is developed to compute the steady-state cost rate. Optimal T&W are obtained to minimize the mean total replacement cost rate. Application and analysis of results are illustrated through a numerical example.
