Coordination of inspections for a group of machines

Models inspection coordination of a group of machines using a nonlinear integer program. The objective of the model is to minimize the expected total cost per unit time, which is a function of a major inspection cost, minor inspection cost and the cost of failure, subject to the restriction that the...

Summary:Models inspection coordination of a group of machines using a nonlinear integer program. The objective of the model is to minimize the expected total cost per unit time, which is a function of a major inspection cost, minor inspection cost and the cost of failure, subject to the restriction that the inspection interval of each machine is an integer multiple of a basic time interval. Proposes a solution procedure to solve the inspection coordination problem. Uses a numerical example to illustrate the model and its proposed solution method.
