Spare Parts Inventory Control under System Availability Constraints
This book focuses on the tactical planning level for spare parts management. It describes a series of multi-item inventory models and presents exact and heuristic optimization methods, including greedy heuristics that work well for real, life-sized proble

Preface
When looking back, we can say that the journey leading to this book started in the fall of 1994. At that time, the first author started to study the spare parts management at the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNN), which was part of a large maintenance project of the RNN and the University of Twente. Professor Henk Zijm suggested to use the METRIC type models of Craig Sherbrooke as described in his book of 1992. Shortly later, a Navy Officer, Jan Willem Rustenburg, started his PhD project on this topic, with Henk Zijm and the first author as supervisors. In this project, the METRIC type models were applied to cases at the RNN, an exact evaluation me
