Some systems such as early warning system should be inspected occasionally in order to detect failures. If the system is inspected too frequently, inspection cost increases. On the other hand, if the number of inspections is reduced too much, the undetected system downtime cost increases. Thus, it is of interest to find effective inspection schedule, which minimizes the sum of inspection and downtime costs. When the system has increasing failure rate, inspection intervals get shorter as time goes on. But a common practice is to inspect the system at predetermined periodic intervals. In this paper, periodic inspection policy and a modified periodic inspection policy are considered. The modified policy is easily applicable and cost-effective. Some numerical examples are included in order to explain the modified inspection ploicy and its cost performance.

A system subject to random shocks is considered. The shocks arrive according to a Poisson process and the amount of each shock is exponentially distributed. In this paper, a periodic inspection policy for the system is compared with a random inspection policy. After assigning several maintenance costs to the system, we calculate and compare the long-run average costs per unit time under two policies.

A modified periodic inspection policy is examined. It is troublesome to know the life distribution and burdensome to compute an optimum planned inspection time numerically as well. A nonparametric a, pp.oximation is used so that equations for the optimum inspection time are expressed as closed forms. To show that the a, pp.oximation can be used in practice, simulations are conducted in the case of Weibull failure times.

본 연구에서는 장기간 보관 중인 장비의 신뢰도를 유지하기 위한 2단계 주기적 검사모형을 제안하였다. 제안된 모형은 불완전한 간이검사와 완전한 정밀검사를 단계적으로 사용하여 고장이 발견되거나 검사 후 저장신뢰도가 미리 정해진 값 이하로 떨어질 때 장비에 대한 오버홀을 수행한다. 제안된 모형을 사용하여 오버홀까지의 단위시간당 기대비용을 유도하고 이를 최소화하기 위한 절차를 구하였으며, 고장시간이 지수분포 및 와이블분포를 따를 경우 제안된 모형을 1단계 주기적 검사모형과 비용함수의 다양한 모수값에 대하여 비교하였다. 또한 실제 운용 중인 유도탄 시스템에 제안된 검사정책을 적용하여 현재 사용 중인 검사정책과의 비교를 수행하였다.

A one-shot system (device) refers to a system that is stored for a long period of time and is then disposed of after a single mission because it is accompanied by a chemical reaction or physical destruction when it operates, such as shells, munitions in a defense weapon system and automobile airbags. Because these systems are primarily related with safety and life, it is required to maintain a high level of storage reliability. Storage reliability is the probability that the system will operate at a particular point in time after storage. Since the stored one-shot system can be confirmed only through inspection, periodic inspection and maintenance should be performed to maintain a high level of storage reliability. Since the one-shot system is characterized by a large loss in the event of a failure, it is necessary to determine an appropriate inspection period to maintain the storage reliability above the reliability goal. In this study, we propose an optimal inspection policy that minimizes the total cost while exceeding the reliability goal that the storage reliability is set in advance for the one-shot system in which periodic inspections are performed. We assume that the failure time is the Weibull distribution. And the cost model is presented considering the existing storage reliability model by Martinez and Kim et al. The cost components to be included in the cost model are the cost of inspection $c_1$, the cost of loss per unit time between failure and detection $c_2$, the cost of minimum repair of the detected breakdown of units $c_3$, and the overhaul cost $c_4$ of $R_s{\leq}R_g$. And in this paper, we will determine the optimal inspection policy to find the inspection period and number of tests that minimize the expected cost per unit time from the finite lifetime to the overhaul. Compare them through numerical examples.

This paper presents a preventive maintenance model for determining the preventive replacement period of a system in which a failure rate is affected by the cumulative damage of fault and inspection. Especially, the failure rate function is considered to be a function of the cumulative damage of the fault and inspection time. Types of replacement considered are preventive replacement and failure replacement. Failure rate and expected cost function between replacement are derived. An optimal policy is obtained that minimizes the average cost per unit time for preventive replacement, failure replacement, inspection and repair.

Periodic replacement policies are proposed for a system whose repair cost, when it fails, can be estimated by inspection. The system is replaced when it reaches age T (Policy A), or when it fails for the first time after age T (Policy B). If it fails before reaching age T, the repair cost is estimated and minimal repair is then undertaken if the estimated cost is less than a predetermined limit L; otherwise, the system is replaced. The expected cost rate functions are obtained, their behaviors are examined, and ways of obtaining optimal T and L are explored.

In the preventive replacement policies of system that the failure can be detected through only periodic inspection, there is a penalty cost associated with the lapsed time between system failure and its detection. The system under study is replaced if the system fails before $n^{th}$ inspection, otherwise, preventive replacement is performed at the $n^{th}$ inspection. The decision variables are the inspection interval and the period of preventive replacement. This study presents the optimal preventive replacement policy that minimizes the long-run expected cost per unit time.

The ultimate goal of inventory management is to decide the timing and the quantity of ordering in response to uncertain demands. Recently, some researchers have focused upon an impact of distortions in the information, e.g., customer order cancellation, on an economical inventory policy. The customer order cancellation is considered a kind of distortions in demands, because a demand that is eventually cancelled is equivalent to a phony demand. Also, there are some additional distortions in the inventory information. For instance, the procurement of suppliers may include some nonconforming items as a result of imperfect production and inspection by the suppliers, and/or damage in transit. The nonconforming item should be considered a kind of distortions in the inventory information, because the nonconforming item is equivalent to a phony stock. In this article, we consider an inventory model under the situation that customers can cancel their orders and the procurement of suppliers may include some nonconforming items. Then, we introduce the customer order reservation into the inventory model for the purpose of avoiding the costly backlogs, because the customer order reservation gives retailers a period to fulfill customer's requests. We formulate a periodic review (s, S) inventory model and investigate the economical operation under the situation mentioned above. Further, through the sensitivity analysis, we show the impact of these distortions and the effect of the customer order reservation on the inventory policy.
