Stochastic comparison results for replacement policies are shown in this paper using the formalism of point processes theory. At each failure moment a repair is allowed. It is performed with a random degree of repair including (as special cases) perfect, minimal and imperfect repair models. Results for such repairable systems with schemes of planned replacements are also shown. The results are obtained by coupling methods for point processes.
