To address this challenge, analytical formulas are developed. The analytical formulas utilize parameters such as delivery time, demand variance, replenishment time, lot sizes, holding costs, and service levels. These formulas provide insights into key characteristics of optimal decoupling points. The obtained results can be categorized into arguments advocating for decoupling points to be positioned either more upstream or more downstream. Furthermore, we derive specific characteristics that an optimal decoupling point position should possess.

Using jet transport, we show that the coefficients computed with a floating point arithmetic of arbitrary precision have an absolute error that depends on the variational equations of the solution, which can have a dominant exponential growth in stiff problems.

In some engineering practices, sufficient degradation observations can not be obtained due to limitations in cost, technology, and time. Under these situations, several degradation models are established using uncertain processes, and based on which the RULs are predicted under belief reliability theory. Although these methods showed advantages in dealing with small sample sizes, they all regarded the failure threshold as a known constant. However, as the system will be used by a diverse range of users, the failure threshold can vary appreciably with different using scenarios. Furthermore, due to the unclear understanding and insufficient collection of the actual operation process by users, the determination of the failure threshold is quite subjective. If the threshold is simply regarded as a known constant, it will cause inaccuracies in the reliability assessment and the scheduling of maintenance, which may further lead to unnecessary losses. Therefore, this work develops a method to estimate RUL with an uncertain failure threshold based on a degradation model constructed by the uncertain differential equation. Unknown parameters in the established degradation model are estimated by the method of moment based on residuals to alleviate the problem in which observation intervals are not close enough.
