碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 數理統計研究所 === 84 === This article investigates a generalized inspection policy for a deteriorating production system with general random minimal repair costs. Unlike many previous efforts, the inspection times for the sequential inspection strategy are assumed to be non-negligible. Furthermore, uncertainty probabilities associated with inspections are introduced. Our objective here is to maximize the profit per unit time for a given overhaul/replacement time by using the numerical search technique. Dynamic programming is provided to derive the optimal periodic overhaul/replacement time and the corresponding optimal number of inspections and their schedule.
