본 연구에서는 소프트웨어 신뢰성 분야에서 많이 사용하는 Weibull 수명 분포((Goel-Okumoto, Rayleigh, Type-2 Gumbe)에 근거하여 유한 고장 NHPP 소프트웨어 신뢰성 모형을 소프트웨어 개발 모형에 적용한 후, 비용의 속성을 비교하여, 분석하였다. 본 연구를 위하여 소프트웨어 시스템의 정상 운용 중 검출된 고장시간 데이터를 수집하여 사용하였고, 제안된 모형의 모수 추정은 최우추정법을 적용하였으며, 비선형 방정식의 계산은 이분법을 사용하여 해결하였다. 그 결과, 첫째, 소프트웨어 개발 모형의 단위 시간당 테스팅 비용과 단일 고장을 제거하는 비용이 증가하면 비용은 증가하였지만 방출시간은 변하지 않았고, 정상적인 시스템 운용 중에 검출된 고장 수리 비용이 증가하면 비용 증가와 함께 방출 시간도 지연됨을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, 제안된 모형들을 종합적으로 비교 분석한 결과, Type-2 Gumble 모형이 Rayleigh 모형과 Goel-Okumoto 기본 모형 보다 개발비용이 적고, 방출 시간 포인트도 상대적으로 빨라서 가장 효율적인 모형임을 알 수 있었다. 셋째, 본 연구를 통하여 Weibull 분포 모형의 개발비용 속성을 새롭게 분석하였으며, 분석된 데이터는 소프트웨어 개발자들이 개발 비용과 방출 시간에 대한 속성을 탐색하는 데 필요한 설계 데이터로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

This paper presents a preventive maintenance model for determining the preventive replacement period of a system in which a failure rate is affected by the cumulative damage of fault and inspection. Especially, the failure rate function is considered to be a function of the cumulative damage of the fault and inspection time. Types of replacement considered are preventive replacement and failure replacement. Failure rate and expected cost function between replacement are derived. An optimal policy is obtained that minimizes the average cost per unit time for preventive replacement, failure replacement, inspection and repair.

The efficiency of marketing channel of distribution between a manufacturer with several customers can be increase by influencing the order quantity of customer. Manufacturer reduces average inventory holding cost by penalizing the large order quantity from the customer. Such a penalty is significant only if the manufacturer's unit inventory holding cost is relatively large. Conditions under which such penalizing can be beneficial to both parties are derived.

This paper deals with an economic design of acelerated life test under constant stresses where failure times are exponentially distributed. In this case the optimization criterion is the information amount per unit cost. Fisher's information matrix of exponential distribution's parameters and expected cost considering fixed and variable costs are obtained. The decision variable is the censoring time in the model. In the 2-level constant stress case, it is proved that the optimal solution exists and is unique under some condition. Numerical examples are also included.

Equipment replacement policy may not be defined with certainty, because physical states of any technological system may not be determined with foresight. This paper presents Markov Decision Process(MDP) model for army equipment which is subject to the uncertainty of deterioration and ultimately to failure. The components of the MDP model is defined as follows: ⅰ) state is identified as the age of the equipment, ⅱ) actions are classified as 'keep' and 'replace', ⅲ) cost is defined as the expected cost per unit time associated with 'keep' and 'replace' actions, ⅳ) transition probability is derived from Weibull distribution. Using the MDP model, we can determine the optimal replacement policy for an army equipment replacement problem.

This paper deals with a (Q, r) spare-part inventory model with gamma leadtime. In the model, if the inventory level falls to a reorder point r, a replenishment order quantity Q is ordered. Assumming that the number of operating units is one and the lifetime of a unit follows an exponential distribution, we derive the expected cost rate and suggest a procedure to obtain the optimal pair of (Q, r) minimizing the cost rate. A numerical example is presented to explain the model.

This paper presents an extended EMQ model which determines an optimal production quantity for a single stage production system when defective items are stochastically produced in the production process and they are re-processed in the rework process to convert them into non-defectives. Through the mathematical modeling, an optimal solution minimizing the average cost per unit time and minimum average cost as well as some properties are derived. It can be shown that each of the existing models is a special case of the proposed model under some conditions. Numerical experiment is carried out to examine the behavior of the proposed model and support properties derived.

Recently, an extended warranty of a system following the expiration of the basic warranty is becoming increasingly popular to the user. In this respect, we suggest a replacement model following the expiration of extended warranty with minimal repair warranty from the user's point of view in this paper. Under extended warranty, the failed system is minimally repaired by the manufacturer at no cost to the user during the original extended warranty period. As a criterion of the optimality, we utilize the expected cost rate per unit time during the life cycle from the user's perspective and suggest the optimal replacement period after extended warranty. Finally, a few numerical examples are given for illustrative purpose.

Machines and facilities are physically or chemically degenerated by continuous usage. One of the results of this degeneration is the process mean shift. The representative type of the degeneration is wear of tool or machine. According to the increasing wear level, non-conforming products cost and quality loss cost are increasing simultaneously. Therefore a periodic preventive resetting the process is necessary. The total cost consists of three items: adjustment cost (or replacement cost), non-conforming cost due to product out of upper or lower limit specification, and quality loss cost due to difference from the process target value and the product characteristic value among the conforming products. In this case, the problem of determining the adjustment period or wear limit that minimizes the total cost is called the 'process mean shift' problem. It is assumed that both specifications are set and the wear level can be observed directly. In this study, we propose a new model integrating the quality loss cost, process variance, and production volume, which has been conducted in different fields in previous studies. In particular, for the change in production volume according to the increasing in wear level, we propose a generalized production quantity function g(w). This function can be applied to most processes and we fitted the g(w) to the model. The objective equation of this model is the total cost per unit wear, and the determining variables are the wear limit and initial process setting position that minimize the objective equation.

Purpose: We compared cost-effectiveness parameters between inpatient and home-based hospice-palliative care services for terminal cancer patients in Korea. Methods: A decision-analytic Markov model was used to compare the cost-effectiveness of hospice-palliative care in an inpatient unit (inpatient-start group) and at home (home-start group). The model adopted a healthcare system perspective, with a 9-week horizon and a 1-week cycle length. The transition probabilities were calculated based on the reports from the Korean National Cancer Center in 2017 and Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service in 2020. Quality of life (QOL) was converted to the quality-adjusted life week (QALW). Modeling and cost-effectiveness analysis were performed with TreeAge software. The weekly medical cost was estimated to be 2,481,479 Korean won (KRW) for inpatient hospice-palliative care and 225,688 KRW for home-based hospice-palliative care. One-way sensitivity analysis was used to assess the impact of different scenarios and assumptions on the model results. Results: Compared with the inpatient-start group, the incremental cost of the home-start group was 697,657 KRW, and the incremental effectiveness based on QOL was 0.88 QALW. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of the home-start group was 796,476 KRW/QALW. Based on one-way sensitivity analyses, the ICER was predicted to increase to 1,626,988 KRW/QALW if the weekly cost of home-based hospice doubled, but it was estimated to decrease to -2,898,361 KRW/QALW if death rates at home doubled. Conclusion: Home-based hospice-palliative care may be more cost-effective than inpatient hospice-palliative care. Home-based hospice appears to be affordable even if the associated medical expenditures double.
