optimization of maintenance resources to maximize the system availability is a major concern in different manufacturing systems. therefore, a lot of effort is put to construct optimization models to reach the maximum availability level and to reduce the costs of lack of availability. however, despite these efforts, data uncertainty in the real world problems was neglected in proposed models whi...

in today's competitive market, quality has an important role in manufacturing system. the manufacturers attempt to maintain their production system in a proper condition to produce high quality products. one of the key factors to achieve this goal is maintenance policy. most studies on maintenance focused on machines and less attention has been paid to human resources as the most important...

In today's competitive market, all manufacturers attempt to improve their maintenance policy in order to decrease the cost of failure and increase the quality of products, but most of these attempts do not consider the role of humans involved in a manufacturing system. Human resources are the main factor in manufacturing that has an undeniable effect on products quality, machines reliability, s...

Redundancy technique is known as a way to enhance the reliability and availability of non-reparable systems, but for repairable systems, another factor is getting prominent called as the number of maintenance resources. In this study, availability optimization of series-parallel systems is modelled by using Markovian process by which the number of maintenance resources is located into the obje...

Most manufacturers use human-machine systems to produce high-quality products. Dealing with human-machine systems is very complicated since not only machines should be utilized in proper condition but also appropriate environment should be provided for human resources. Most manufacturers have a maintenance plan for machines but many of them do not have a proper work-rest schedule for human reso...

Maintenance resources are important part of the maintenance support system. The whole efficiency of weapon system is directly affected by the allocation of maintenance resources. Joint support for weapon system of multi-kinds of equipments is the main fashion of maintenance support in the future. However, there is a lack of the efficiency tools and methods for predication and optimization of we...
