Abstract:
The expected cost per unit of time for a sequential inspection policy is derived. It still has some difficulties to compute an optimal sequential policy numerically, which minimizes the expected cost of a system with finite number of inspections. This paper gives the algorithm for an optimal inspection schedule and specifies the computing procedure for a Weibull distribution. Using this algorithm, optimal inspection times are computed as a numerical result. Compared with the periodic point inspection, the policies in this paper reduce the cost successfully.
