We study single machine scheduling problems with linear time-dependent deterioration effects and maintenance activities. Maintenance periods (MPs) are included into the schedule, so that the machine, that gets worse during the processing, can be restored to a better state. We deal with a job-independent version of the deterioration effects, i.e., all jobs share a common deterioration rate. Howe...

 This paper introduces the effects of job deterioration and sequence dependent set- up time in a single machine scheduling problem. The considered optimization criterion is the minimization of the makespan (Cmax). For this purpose, after formulating the mathematical model, genetic and tabu search algorithms were developed for the problem. Since population diversity is a very important issue in ...

This study aimed at presenting a method for formulating optimal production, repair and replacement policies. The system was based on the production rate of defective parts and machine repairs and then was set up to optimize maintenance activities and related costs. The machine is either repaired or replaced. The machine is changed completely in the replacement process, but the productio...

In many realistic situations, a job processed later consumes more time than the same job when it is processed earlier; this phenomenon is known as deteriorating jobs. However, job deterioration is relatively unexplored in the context of group technology. In this paper, we consider deterioration in the framework ofminimizing themakespan and the total completion time in single-machine group sched...

In this paper, a single-product, single-machine system under Markovian deterioration of machine condition and demand uncertainty is studied.  The objective is to find the optimal intervals for inspection and preventive maintenance activities in a condition-based maintenance planning with discrete monitoring framework. At first, a stochastic dynamic programming model whose state variable is the ...

Maintenance is important to manufacturing process as it helps improve the efficiency of production. Although different models of joint deterioration and learning effects have been studied extensively in various areas, it has rarely been studied in the context of scheduling with maintenance activities. This paper considers scheduling with jointly the deterioration and learning effects and multi-...
