Incorporating redundancy considerations into stockage models

Abstract

This article is concerned with evaluating the impact on weapon system availability of component and assembly redundancy. The evaluation must be efficient, and it must be possible to integrate the evaluation into multiechelon stockage models whose objective is to find the least cost mix of stockage consistent with the availability goals for weapon (or other type) systems. The mathematics to be discussed here provides a rigorous solution to the evaluation problem when there is only a single supply echelon; there can be upper‐echelon repair, but not supply, unless the supply is from a “perfect” supplier, always in stock. For the more general multiechelon case, approximate approaches are presented.
