Abstract
Methods and systems for remediating impaired devices in a deployment are disclosed. The devices may be remediated by repairing or replacing the devices. Whether to repair or replace the devices may depend on the operational and performance costs of running the impaired devices in the deployment. Operational costs may include the retail price of the device and any energy requirements to run the impaired device. Performance costs may include effects of the output of the impaired device on other devices along the pathway of devices. If the integrated costs of the operational costs and performance costs outweigh the sum of the individual operational costs and performance costs, then the device may be replaced; otherwise, the device may be repaired.
