Reliability is an important engineering requirement for consistently delivering acceptable product performance through time. It also affects the scheduling for preventive maintenance. Reliability usually degrades with time increasing therefore, the lifecycle cost due to more frequent failures which result in increased warranty costs, costly repairs and loss of market share. In a lifecycle cost ...

aggregate production planning (app) is one of the most important issues carried out in manufacturing environments which seeks efficient planning, scheduling and coordination of all production activities that optimizes the company's objectives. in this paper, we develop a mixed integer linear programming (milp) model for an integrated aggregate production planning system with closed loop su...

Currently corrective maintenance and time-based preventive maintenance strategies are widely used in wind power industry. However, few methods are applied to optimize these strategies. This paper aims to develop opportunistic maintenance approaches for an entire wind farm rather than individual components that most of the existing studies deal with. Furthermore, we consider imperfect actions in...

Maintenance problems are crucial aspect of nowadays industrial problems. However, the quest of the efficient periodicity of maintenance for all components of a system is far from an easy task to accomplish when considering all the antagonistic criteria of the maintenance and production views of a production system. Thus, the objective is to simultaneously ensure a low frequency of failures by a...

This article investigates a JIT single machine scheduling problem with a periodic preventive maintenance. Also to maintain the quality of the products, there is a limitation on the maximum number of allowable jobs in each period. The proposed bi-objective mixed integer model minimizes total earliness-tardiness and makespan simultaneously. Due to the computational complexity of the problem, mult...

This paper presents a maintenance policy for a system consisting of two units. Unit 1 is gradually deteriorating and is subject to soft failure. Unit 2 has a general lifetime distribution and is subject to hard failure. Condition of unit 1 of the system is monitored periodically and it is considered as failed when its deterioration level reaches or exceeds a critical level N . At the failure ti...

This paper discusses the determination of an optimal maintenance policy for a repairable system exhibiting a linearly increasing hazard rate, a constant repair rate and a predetermined availability. Under the preventive maintenance policy, the system availability is guaranteed and the time interval between preventive maintenance actions incurring minimal cost is analysed and presented.

Corrective maintenance (CM) is carried out to correct failures while preventive (PM) avert failure. They both play an important role in asset management. Accurately estimating the effectiveness of PM needed as it has impact on system health Given failure times and related data, possible estimate maintenance. This paper proposes CM models based different combinations type out, estimates paramete...

This paper discusses the issue of integrating production planning and preventive maintenance in manufacturing production systems. In particular, it tackles the problem of integrating production and preventive maintenance in a system composed of parallel failure-prone production lines. It is assumed that when a production line fails, a minimal repair is carried out to restore it to an ‘as-bad-as...

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...
