Contents: The allocation of inspection effort problem for aerial systems is formulated as a 0-1 mixed integer linear programming problem. This formulation permits any combination of scrap, rework, or repair at each station and allows the problem to be solved using standard MILP software packages. Moreover electronic spread-sheets may be used to easily calculate the relevant coefficients. An additional advantage of this approach when compared with the traditional dynamic programming approach is the ease with which the basic model may be modified. For example, it is shown how the model may easily be modified to include both a material and a production constraint and to select between various material suppliers. Sensitivity analysis is also easily performed with this approach. This model is then used to show that the optimal inspection policy is dependent on whether a production or a material requirement is used.
