We continue the study of our general cost structure for a maintained system. Here we focus on the optimization questions for an age or block policy. The notion of a marginal cost function is rigorously formulated and its utility investigated. Various applications are considered, including a new model in which minimal repairs are performed as long as the total accumulated repair costs do not exceed a fixed amount.
