Title
Simulation-Based Inspection Policies for a One-Shot System in Storage Over a Finite Time Span.
Abstract
In this paper, we consider an inspection policy problem for a one-shot system with two types of units over a finite time span and want to determine inspection intervals optimally with given replacement points of Type 2 units. The interval availability and life cycle cost are used as optimization criteria and estimated by simulation. Two optimization models are proposed to find the optimal inspection intervals for the exponential and general distributions. A heuristic method and a genetic algorithm are proposed to find the near-optimal inspection intervals, to satisfy the target interval availability and minimize the life-cycle cost. We study numerical examples to compare the heuristic method with the genetic algorithm and investigate the effect of model parameters to the optimal solutions.
