Robust Maintenance Scheduling of Aircraft Fleet: A Hybrid Simulation-Optimization Approach

چکیده

We study the maintenance task scheduling problem for an aircraft fleet in uncertain environment from viewpoint of robust optimization. Given a daily horizon, tasks delegated to shop should be scheduled such way that sufficient aircrafts are available on time meet demand planned missions. The either activities or unexpected repair jobs when major fault is detected during preor after-flight check each mission. availability skilled labour main constraint. propose formulation so duration subject unstructured uncertainty due environmental and human factors. As result specific structure primary model non-convexity feasible space, classical optimization methods cannot applied. Thus, we e-Conservative tandem with Monte-Carlo sampling extract set all solutions corresponding various disturbance vectors. Since one-way sampling-then-optimization approach does not guarantee probabilistic feasibility, employ hybrid simulation-optimization ensure provided by scenarios. experimental results confirm scalability proposed methodology generating optimal solutions, satisfying conservatism levels scenarios irrespective size.

Abstract - Maintenance Scheduling of a Fighter Aircraft Fleet with Multi-Objective Simulation Optimization

We consider the multi-objective scheduling problem for the periodic maintenance of a fleet of fighter aircraft. We describe a simulation-optimization approach based on discrete-event simulation [2] and simulated annealing [1] for the generation of the non-dominated solutions of the problem. In addition, we suggest the use of a multi-attribute decision analysis model [9] to support the maintenan...

A Maintenance Packaging and Scheduling Optimization Method for Future Aircraft

This paper proposes an optimization method for aircraft maintenance tasks packaging and scheduling integrated in an aircraft lifecycle simulation. It is demonstrated that the developed methods are feasible to model a prognosis-based maintenance concept. Such maintenance concepts are a prerequisite for a profitable application of prognostics and health management systems in future aircraft. The ...

Technical Note: An opportunity cost maintenance scheduling framework for a fleet of ships: A case study

The conventional method towards deriving schedule for a fleet of ships to minimize cost alone has the short-coming of not addressing the problem of operation revenue losses associated with delays during maintenance at ships dockyards. In this paper, a preventive maintenance schedule for a fleet of ships that incorporates op-portunity cost is presented. The idea is to assign a penalty cost to al...
