Optimal Periodic Inspection Programs for Randomly Failing Equipment

چکیده
There have been many analyses made of models for equipment inspection, i. e ., where a system may suffer a bre.akdowfl, ~ut such an event is only discovered by an inspection. Most analyses as· ~ume t~at the tIme to failure follows a negative exponential law which implies that only periodic mspectlOn programs need b~ considered. Another model which has been analyzed by Barlow, Hunter, and Proschan finds the optimal program of inspections when the equipment reliability function is of gener.al form , but a particular los: function is given. In this paper we find the optimal pe riodic in· spectlOn program for systems whICh do not have negative exponential reliability functions . These programs have the virtue of simplicity even though they may not be optimal in an absolute sense. Besides the periodic inspection programs, we derive results for random inspection programs.

In very, simple words, time inconsistency means failing to conduct programs in consistence with time. In other words, time inconsistency refers to a situation where economic decision-makers preferences transform a long time in a way that what they preferred at a certain time point is not consistent with their preferences at other time points. In everyday life, we always face time inconsistency....
