Inspection Policies for Fault Location.

Abstract

When a system fails it may not be obvious which components are at fault. Locating faulty components to be replaced may require a series of inspections each of which reveals the state (functioning/failed) of one of the components. The order in which components are inspected and replaced can greatly affect the cost to restore the system to an operating condition. This paper investigates inspection sequences for complex coherent systems.
