Allocation of Repair Times and Failure Rates with Life Cycle Cost Considerations

Abstract

The paper develops a cost-based procedure for allocating repair times and failure rates to the various subsystems of a system. The allocation problem is handled as a cost minimization problem, first with no constraints, and second, with the constraint of meeting a system availability requirement. The Lagrange multiplier technique is employed to obtain the solution. An example problem is stated and solved with the aid of a computer.
