Abstract The article addresses the importance of using recycled asphalt with integration road maintenance procedures in network. network is considered main element any national infrastructure development plan. research aims to study and highlight as a suggested sustainable method for procedures. Therefore, elaborates on historical use asphalt, its advantages, disadvantages. Besides that, proces...

Preventive maintenance actions over the warranty period have an impact on the warranty servicing cost to the manufacturer and the cost to the buyer of fixing failures over the life of the product after the warranty expires. However, preventive maintenance costs money and is worthwhile only when these costs exceed the reduction in other costs. The paper deals with a model to determine when preve...

This paper presents a special case of integration of the preventive maintenance into the repair/replacement policy of a failure-prone system. The machine of the considered system exhibits increasing failure intensity and increasing repair times. To reduce the failure rate and subsequent repair times following a failure, there is an incentive to perform preventive maintenance on the machine befo...

this paper presents a new bi-objective mathematical model for a permutation flowshop scheduling problem with availability constraint in case of preventive maintenance operations on machines. in this paper, preventive maintenance is flexible and there is not a certain time for the maintenance operation; however, time between two consecutive maintenance operations for each machine should not be g...

This paper proposes an opportunistic maintenance policy for the multi-unit series production system. This proposed maintenance policy is on the basis of the failure rate analysis, which is more realistic than age-based or time-based opportunistic replacement models. When a system halts for performing preventive maintenance or opportunistic maintenance, the alternative decision of replacement an...
