Traditionally, generator maintenance scheduling has been implemented using highly conservative maintenance policies based on manufacturing specifications and engineering expertise on the type of generators. However, recent advances in sensor technology, signal processing, and embedded online diagnosis provide more unit-specific information on the degradation characteristics of the generators. I...

This paper investigates scheduling problems with simultaneous considerations of deterioration effects and deteriorating multi-maintenance activities on unrelated parallel machines. We examine two models of scheduling with the deterioration effect, namely the job-dependent and position-dependent deterioration model and the time-dependent deterioration model. We assume that each machine may be su...

Preventive maintenance is essential for every chemical production site to prevent failure and accidents, however it upsets material and utility flows inside the site and also causes production loss. In order to minimize the loss, maintenance of each plant unit has to be carefully scheduled together with considerations on site-wide material and utility balances. This will involve both production...

Reliability and safety in flight is extremely necessary and that depend on the adoption of proper maintenance system. Therefore, it is essential for aircraft maintenance companies to perform the manpower scheduling efficiently. One of the objectives of this paper is to provide an Integer Programming approach to determine the optimal solutions to aircraft maintenance planning and scheduling and ...

In this work, the effectiveness of preventive maintenance scheduling (PMS) decisions was reported based on a techno-economic model that reflects cost objective function for ship maintenance activities. With a potential to impact on both transportation businesses and users of transportation services, the model provides an alternative to the combined classical literature problems of spare-parts i...

Production scheduling deals with scheduling production jobs on a machine (single or multiple) in order to optimise a specific objective such as total weighted completion times or total weighted tardiness. The assumption that machines are always available for processing jobs is generally used in the production scheduling literature. In reality, machines often are unavailable due to preventive ma...

Integrating flexible job-shop scheduling problem (FJSP) with preventive maintenance (PM) is pondered in this paper. Minimizing the makespan for scheduling part and minimizing the system unavailability for maintenance part are simultaneously under consideration. For doing it, the assignment of n jobs on m machines in production side and executing the PM actions at appropriate time intervals in m...

A framework for sensor driven condition based generator maintenance scheduling was proposed in Part 1 [1]. In Part 2, we extend the previous model by incorporating the unit commitment and dispatch into the optimal maintenance scheduling problem. We reformulate this extended maintenance scheduling problem as a two-stage mixed integer program. We use this reformulation to construct an algorithm t...
