An inspection and replacement policy for a protection system is described in which the inspection process is subject to … positive implies renewal of the protection system; the other not. These models are motivated by inspection of a protection … system on the production line of a beverage manufacturer. False negatives reduce the efficiency of inspection. Another notion …

In this work the problem of obtaining an optimal maintenance policy for a single-machine, single-product workstation … criteria for the first model is based on the cost of performing maintenance, the cost of repairing a failed machine and the … units of demand, and the failure times are assumed to be random. The results show that in order to make better maintenance …

system is derived. Meanwhile, the optimal maintenance policy is also numerically determined. …

Manufacturers supplying products under warranty need a strategy to deal with failures during the warranty period … availability for replacement and costs of product obsolescence. In this paper, we consider the joint optimization of repair …

system has two types of failures. Type-I failure (minor failure) is removed by a general repair, whereas type-II failure …
