We examine a replacement model for a semi-Markov shock model with additive damage. Sufficient conditions are given for the optimality of control limit policies. The paper generalizes and unifies previous research in the area. In addition, we investigate in detail the practical modelling and computational aspects of the replacement problem using a semi-Markov modelling structure.
