Generator Maintenance Scheduling Model and Algorithm for Balanced System Reserve

Bi-level Model for Reliability based Maintenance and Job Scheduling

Many defects in manufacturing system are caused by human resources that show the significance of the human resources in manufacturing systems. Most manufacturers attempt to investigate the human resources in order to improve the work conditions and reduce the human error by providing a proper work-rest schedule. On the other hand, manufacturer deal with machine scheduling based on demand and wo...

Distributed Generator Maintenance Scheduling

In recent years the electricity sector has undergone a number of changes that all point in the direction of liberalization and decentralization of control. However, a number of technological challenges have to be addressed before the desired degree of decentralization is obtained. Currently, most of the decisions about the operation of a power system are still made in control centers in a centr...

A Model Predictive Control Approach to Generator Maintenance Scheduling

Mathematical Model and Solution Algorithm for Containership Operation/Maintenance Scheduling

This study considers the problem of determining operation and maintenance schedules for a containership equipped with components during its sailing according to a pre-determined navigation schedule. The operation schedule, which specifies work time of each component, determines the due-date of each maintenance activity, and the maintenance schedule specifies the actual start time of each mainte...

Finding Optimally Balanced Words for Production Planning and Maintenance Scheduling

Balanced words are useful for scheduling mixed-model, just-in-time assembly lines, planning preventive maintenance, managing inventory, and controlling asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks. This paper considers the challenging problem of finding a balanced word (a periodic sequence) for a finite set of letters, when the desired densities of the letters in the alphabet are given. Two differ...
