Abstract
This paper discusses the incorporation of the corrective maintenance cost o f instruments as part of the objective function. It is also shown that, in the presence of repairable instruments, the availability of a variable, ins tead of its reliability, should be used as a constraint. The impact of the corrective repair rate on the solution of the problem is investigated.
