Abstract
In this paper, we develop a model for machine maintenance inspection problem. Conditions under which an economical solution exists are derived. An optimal solution procedure yielding the optimal inspection interval length in few iterations is proposed as well as a closed form heuristic solution which provides a very good approximation. An example is used to illustrate both approaches.
