Abstract
This investigation considers a generalized inspection policy for a deteriorating production system with general random minimal repair costs. The inspection times for the inspection strategy are assumed to be non-negligible. Additionally, uncertainty probabilities associated with inspections are introduced. Using a dynamic programming formulation, the optimal inspection time for maximizing profit per unit time for a given overhaul/replacement time is determined. Next, the procedure is extended to determine the optimal periodic overhaul/replacement time, as well as the optimal number of inspections and their schedule.
