This thesis is an attempt to develop a theoretical microeconomic
model which can be used to examine the short-run demand for the
timeliness of farm machinery repairs. This analysis focuses on
the timing of the repair after a breakdown has occurred.
The nonstochastic model developed allows the incorporation of
the...
This thesis is a study of certain costs relevant to the repair of
process line equipment. A specific production configuration is studied
through computer simulation and statistics. The significance of the
simulated costs are investigated and related to practical production
problems.
Costs relevant to the "permanent repair" of production equipment...

The decision sequences used for troubleshooting of complex electro-mechanical systems are often ad hoc and less than optimal. This research investigated Decision Analysis and Bayesian Networks for generating an optimal decision sequence for troubleshooting. The model that was used in this research was the bleed air control system of the...
