Abstract

In this paper, the problem of optimum compromise allocation of repairable and replaceable components in a system is formulated as a multi-objective all integer non linear programming problem ( AINLPP ). A solution procedure using the five different approaches are considered namely the goal programming, Î- constraint, Distance-based, 1 D – distance and value function to obtain the compromise allocation for a system. A numerical example is also presented to illustrate the computational details.
