Abstract

Given a component with N critical characteristics, each characteristic i has a cost of inspection C_i>0 and a probability of rejection R_i, 0<R_i<1. An optimal sequence for ordering these critical characteristics for inspection is found. This sequence minimizes the total expected cost of inspection. The implications and the applications of this sequence are examined.
