Maintaining systems with heterogeneous spare parts

We consider the problem of optimally maintaining a stochastically degrading, single‐unit system using heterogeneous spares of varying quality. The system's failures are unannounced; therefore, it is inspected periodically to determine its status (functioning or failed). The system continues in operation until it is either preventively or correctively maintained. The available maintenance options include perfect repair, which restores the system to an as‐good‐as‐new condition, and replacement with a randomly selected unit from the supply of heterogeneous spares. The objective is to minimize the total expected discounted maintenance costs over an infinite time horizon. We formulate the problem using a mixed observability Markov decision process (MOMDP) model in which the system's age is observable but its quality must be inferred. We show, under suitable conditions, the monotonicity of the optimal value function in the belief about the system quality and establish conditions under which finite preventive maintenance thresholds exist. A detailed computational study reveals that the optimal policy encourages exploration when the system's quality is uncertain; the policy is more exploitive when the quality is highly certain. The study also demonstrates that substantial cost savings are achieved by utilizing our MOMDP‐based method as compared to more naïve methods of accounting for heterogeneous spares.

基于改进信息熵的抢修操作过程复杂性测度模型

抢修操作过程复杂性既是抢修人员准确衡量抢修操作难易程度及不确定性的重要指标,又是辅助指挥员进行抢修任务分配及抢修资源调度的重要参考,还是进行抢修时间估计的重要依据。然而,目前没有合适的抢修操作过程复杂性测度方法。考虑到普通信息熵极大值公理与抢修操作过程复杂性的特征不相符,利用改进的信息熵建立抢修操作过程的复杂性测度模型,并利用回归分析法通过实例验证,模型测度结果可以客观地反映抢修操作过程的复杂性。

Minimal LST representations of MAP(n)s: Moment fittings and queueing approximations

A Markovian arrival process of order n, MAP(n), is typically described by two n × n transition rate matrices in terms of rate parameters. While it is straightforward and intuitive, the Markovian representation is redundant since the minimal number of parameters is n² for non‐redundant MAP(n). It is well known that the redundancy complicates exact moment fittings. In this article, we present a minimal and unique Laplace‐Stieltjes transform (LST) representations for MAP(n)s. Even though the LST coefficients vector itself is not a minimal representation, we show that the joint LST of stationary intervals can be represented with the minimum number of parameters. We also propose another minimal representation for MAP(3)s based on coefficients of the characteristic polynomial equations of the two transition rate matrices. An exact moment fitting procedure is presented for MAP(3)s based on two proposed minimal representations. We also discuss how MAP(3)/G/1 departure process can be approximated as a MAP(3). A simple tandem queueing network example is presented to show that the MAP(3) performs better than the MAP(2) in queueing approximations especially under moderate traffic intensities. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

基于权重的AHP判断矩阵一致性调整方法

传统的判断矩阵调整方法计算得到的权重不能最大限度地保留原始判断矩阵的信息。为此,提出一种基于权重的判断矩阵调整方法。该方法根据权重的性质,构造完全一致矩阵,利用AdaGrad最速下降法对矩阵进行拟合,使该矩阵相对于原始判断矩阵的总改变量最小,以其对应的权重作为矩阵的计算结果。数值计算结果表明,该方法相比于其他方法,权重对原始判断信息的保留度更高,且不需要反复进行矩阵一致性检验。
