Abstract

This paper proposes a three-phase inspection policy model based on a three-stage failure process for a single unit system. Different from existing works which usually assume unique inspection interval, the three-phase inspection policy allows the inspection policy to change according to the identified state of the unit. The possible renewal scenarios are considered based on which the cost model is proposed. Numerical example is presented, and the results clearly reveal the advantage of the three-phase inspection policy over the unique interval inspection.
