A Stochastic Repairable Item Inventory Model.

Abstract

A model is constructed of a repairable item inventory system where on-hand stocks are resupplied both by repair and procurement. The basic properties of the model are analyzed. A Poisson failure process is assumed, and steady state probabilities are found for operation of the model under <R,Q> and <S-1,S> inventory policies. Further, a compound Poisson failure process under an <S-1.S> inventory policy is also analyzed. Measures of supply performance, such as expected number of backorders per unit time, are derived for the system under the various policies. (Author)
