What is Group replacement give an example?
a PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE system which replaces groups of items such as lightbulbs at predetermined intervals, even though they may not all have come to the end of their life.
(b) Group Replacement Policy: Under this policy, it is decided to replace all the items after a certain time period irrespective of the facts that items have failed or have not failed with an option that if any item before the optimal time, it may be individually replaced.
In fact, in any system the efficacy (efficiency) of an item deteriorates with time. In such cases, either the old item should be replaced by a new item, or some kind of restorative action (maintenance) is necessary to restore the efficiency of the whole system.
“The group replacement policy states that: Group replacement should be made at the end of 'i' th period, if the cost of individual replacement for 'i' th period is greater than average cost per period by the end of the period't' and one should not adopt a group replacement policy if the cost of individual replacement ...
Group Replacement Theory
Replacement of items that fail suddenly. There are certain items which do not deteriorate but fail completely after certain amount of use.
This can be further classified into the following types: (i) Determination of economic life of an asset. (ii) Replacement of an existing asset with a new asset. (b) Simple probabilistic model for assets which fail completely (replacement due to sudden failure).
Replacement problems involve items that degenerate with use or with the passage of time and those that fail after a certain amount of use or time. Items that deteriorate are likely to be large and costly (e.g., machine tools, trucks, ships, and home appliances).
noun. The period of time (typically) elapsing between the purchase of a new asset, piece of equipment, etc., and its replacement due to wear or obsolescence.
Definition. A theory proposed by Christopher Stringer and Peter Andrews suggesting that the place of origin of modern human beings is in Africa. Early human predecessors then spread to the various parts of the world, replacing the Neanderthals and other hominids that eventually became extinct.

What is the difference between group replacement and individual replacement?
Individualreplacement policy, demands immediate replacement of the item on its failure.In Group replacement, we replace all items at a particular time whether it has failed or not. Meanwhile if any item fail we can replace it individually.
Following assumptions are essentially required for replacement decisions: i) The quality of the output remains constant. ii) Replacement and maintenance costs remain constant. iii) The operational efficiency of the equipment remains constant.
- (i) Deterioration: ...
- (ii) Obsolescence: ...
- (iii) Inadequacy: ...
- (iv) Working Conditions: ...
- (v) Economy: ...

Replacement cost is a term referring to the amount of money a business must currently spend to replace an essential asset like a real estate property, an investment security, a lien, or another item, with one of the same or higher value.
The individual replacement policy is concerned with replacing an item as at when it fails and Equation (1) is the average individual replacement cost per period.
Machine hour rate of the machine is irrelevant.
replacement problems are concerned with the situations that arise when some items such as men, machines and usable things etc need replacement due to their decreased efficiency, failure or breakdown. Such decreased efficiency or complete breakdown may either be gradual or all of a sudden.
We can categorize the failure in two classes. They are (i) Gradual failure and (ii) Sudden failure. Once again the sudden failure may be classified as: (a) Progressive failure, (b) Retrogressive failure and (c) Random failure.
This can be further classified into the following types: (i) Determination of economic life of an asset. (ii) Replacement of an existing asset with a new asset. (b)Simple probabilistic model for assets which fail completely (replacement due to sudden failure).
When a sampling unit is drawn from a finite population and is returned to that population, after its characteristic(s) have been recorded, before the next unit is drawn, the sampling is said to be “with replacement”.
What is replacement in random sampling?
Sampling is called with replacement when a unit selected at random from the population is returned to the population and then a second element is selected at random. Whenever a unit is selected, the population contains all the same units, so a unit may be selected more than once.
When we sample with replacement, the two sample values are independent. Practically, this means that what we get on the first one doesn't affect what we get on the second. Mathematically, this means that the covariance between the two is zero. In sampling without replacement, the two sample values aren't independent.
With replacement means the same item can be chosen more than once. Without replacement means the same item cannot be selected more than once.
