Abstract When a unit should provide reliability at mission time, the mission success probability or failure probability becomes an important constraint to plan inspection policies. From this viewpoint, this paper considers the optimization problems of periodic and sequential inspection policies with mission failure probabilities. In this paper, a mission time is considered as a renewal point for inspection polices, but the failure cost occurred at mission time is higher than the total cost of inspection and failure detection. We give an upper limit of the failure probability at mission time, that is, mission failure probability, to minimize the total expected costs and the expected cost rates of inspection policies. In addition, the extended models of inspection policies for an interval mission, possible random times, and operating interval are discussed.

Quality and Reliability Engineering International is a journal dedicated to the practical engineering aspects of quality and reliability. Published eight times a year, it covers the development and application of existing theoretical methods, research, and industrial practices. Articles in the journal include case studies, tutorial-style reviews, and applications of new or established theories to solve real-world quality and reliability issues in engineering. We encourage papers that use mathematical and statistical tools to address practical problems, particularly those focusing on life industrial issues, with an emphasis on practical applications and demonstrative case studies. The journal's scope includes components, failure physics, equipment, and systems in the fields of electronic, electrical, mechanical, and systems engineering. It covers areas such as communications, aerospace, automotive, railway, marine equipment, control engineering, and consumer products, addressing both hardware and software quality and reliability. We also encourage submissions on software engineering and its impact on product quality and reliability. Furthermore, the journal addresses quality and reliability management in the engineering industry. Special issues on various key topics are published annually, contributing to the enhancement of Quality and Reliability Engineering International as a leading reference in its field.
