A multiechelon inventory model with multiple failures

Abstract: This article presents a recoverable spares model for performance evaluation in a multiechelon inventory environment. This model explicitly incorporates the phenomenon known as multiple failures, in which more than one part can require replacement or repair when an end‐item reaches a maintenance base. The model is shown to be computationally intractable, and an approximation scheme is presented to estimate system performance. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
