Abstract

Delay time analysis is a pragmatic mathematical concept readily embraced by engineers which has been developed as a means to model maintenance decision problem. This paper considers an inspection period using delay time analysis for fishing vessel equipment. We assume that delay time distribution is Weibull and inspections are perfect. In this paper, we determine the optimal inspection period which minimize the expected downtime per unit time.
