A Sparing Model for Sea-Based Aircraft Parts
November 1, 1987
When an aircraft is being repaired or inspected and a certain part is found to have failed, the part is replaced immediately, if a spare part is available. This research memorandum describes a queueing model used to analyze a sparing decision for a part with general probabilistic demand.
