Abstract
Burn-in is a widely used method to eliminate initial failures. Preventive maintenance policy such as block replacement with minimal repair at failure is often used in field operation. In this paper burn-in and maintenance policy are taken into consideration at the same time. The cost of a minimal repair is assumed to be a non-decreasing function of its age. The problems of determining optimal burn-in times and optimal maintenance policy are considered.
