An Integrated Cost Model for the Joint Optimization of Process Control and Maintenance
本文提出了一个经济模型，将统计过程控制和预防性维护整合在一起，并同时优化它们的设计参数。数值例子表明，在马尔可夫退化假设下，纯策略在许多情况下在经济上是合理的。
Statistical process control and preventive maintenance have been treated separately by past research. This study presents an economic model that incorporates both process control and maintenance procedures, and simultaneously optimizes their design parameters. It is shown how a pure process-control policy and a pure preventive-maintenance policy constitute special cases of the general model. Numerical examples illustrate the application of the method and suggest that, under the Markovian deterioration assumption, in many cases a pure policy is economically justifiable.
