Priority Scheduling and Spares Stocking Policies for a Repair Shop: The Multiple Failure Case
通过仿真评估了多故障情形下修理车间的调度规则和备件初始化方法，发现单故障时表现好的策略在多故障时同样有效，复杂规则无显著改进。
Improved scheduling rules and spares stocking policies are examined for a repair shop supporting a multi-item repairable inventory system with a hierarchical product structure. The results from an earlier paper are extended to the case where more than one unit fails in each item to be repaired. A variety of scheduling rules and methods for initializing the vector of spare parts are evaluated using a simulation of a representative shop. The results indicate that procedures which perform well when only a single unit fails also perform well when multiple failures occur. More complex rules, which recognize assembly mating requirements, do not appear to provide any significant improvement.
