Optimal Inspection and Control of Stochastically Deteriora- ting Systems

随着时间的推移，系统以随机的方式退化，必须定期检查和纠正，如果发现缺陷。由于检查、纠正措施和失败都要花钱，因此问题涉及到检查和纠正措施的时间安排和政策决定。普利斯卡教授正在研究四种应用于质量控制、飞机维修和医疗筛查的模型。

Systems which deteriorate over time in a random fashion must be periodically inspected and corrected if found defective. As inspections, corrective actions and failures all cost money, the problem involves timing and policy decisions concerning the inspections and the corrective actions. Professor Pliska is investigating four models with applications to quality control, aircraft maintenance and medical screening.
