Spares Provisioning Problem for Repairable Items

수리가능 제품의 여유재고 비축문제

The inventory problem of the repairable items is modeled as a queueing network for the purpose of determining the number of spares in a multi-echelon repair system subject to stochastic failure. In this paper, we are considering a finite number of repairman at each base and the depot. After repair job has completed, the repaired items are returned to the base where they have originated. For the system, we identify the distribution of the total number of failed items which belongs to a base and develope a method to find spare inventory levels of the repairable items at each base to satisfy a specified minimum fill rate.
