A fully subjective approach to capital equipment replacement. (2003)
Journal Article
Scarf, P., & Apeland, S. (2003). A fully subjective approach to capital equipment replacement. Journal of the Operational Research Society, 54(4), 371-378. https://doi.org/10.1057/palgrave.jors.2601505

The timing of replacement of equipment is dependent on factors like replacement costs, discount factors and differences in productivity, reliability and safety of existing and new equipment. Predictions related to these factors are, however, normally... Read More about A fully subjective approach to capital equipment replacement..

Modelling condition monitoring intervals: A hybrid of simulation and analytical approaches. (2003)
Journal Article
Wang, W. (2003). Modelling condition monitoring intervals: A hybrid of simulation and analytical approaches. Journal of the Operational Research Society, 54(3), 273-282. https://doi.org/10.1057/palgrave.jors.2601508

This paper reports on a study of modelling condition monitoring intervals. The model is formulated based upon two important concepts. One is the failure delay time concept, which is used to divide the failure process of the item into two periods, nam...

"Just trying to keep the customer satisfied": a comparison of models used in the measurement of tourist satisfaction (2003)
Journal Article
Fallon, P., & Schofield, P. (2003). "Just trying to keep the customer satisfied": a comparison of models used in the measurement of tourist satisfaction. Journal of Quality Assurance in Hospitality and Tourism, 4(3/4), 77-96. https://doi.org/10.1300/J162v04n03_06

The paper compares the predictive validity of six models used in the measurement of satisfaction; it is concerned with their application at destination level, with particular reference to Orlando, Florida. Using factor analysis and multiple regressio... Read More about "Just trying to keep the customer satisfied": a comparison of models used in the measurement of tourist satisfaction.

accountable and provide marketing benefits to those firms that meet the certif... Read More about Sustainable Tourism Stewardship Council - raising the standards and benefits of sustainable tourism and ecotourism certification.

Block Replacement Policies for a Two-Component System with Failure Dependence. (2003)
Journal Article
Scarf, P., & Deara, M. (2003). Block Replacement Policies for a Two-Component System with Failure Dependence. Naval Research Logistics, 50(1), 70-87. https://doi.org/10.1002/nav.10051

Block replacement and modified block replacement policies for two-component systems with failure dependence and economic dependence are considered in this paper. Opportunistic maintenance policies are also considered. Where tractable, long-run costs... Read More about Block Replacement Policies for a Two-Component System with Failure Dependence..
