Maintenance Cost Optimization for the Process Industry
نویسنده
چکیده
Proper maintenance of plant equipment can significantly reduce the overall operating cost, while boosting the productivity of the plant. Therefore Maintenance planning is carried out in a area where the frequent failure occurs. The raw mill section is chosen due to its critical failure nature. The various subsystems of the raw mill system are: air slide, conveyor assembly, impact crusher, separator, elevator and gear assembly. The objective is to determine the optimal maintenance policy by means of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and it is combined with Goal Programming (GP) to minimize the total maintenance cost.

An economic-statistical model for production and maintenance planning under adaptive non-central chi-square control chart
Most of the inventory control models assume that quality defect never happens, which means production process is perfect. However, in real manufacturing processes, the production process starts its operation in the in-control state; but after a period of time, shifts to the out-of-control state because of occurrence of some disturbances. In this paper, in order to approach the model to real man...
متن کاملStrategic Planning for the National Bridge Stock of Iran
The National Bridge Stock of Iran consists of about 330,000 bridges, of which around 50% are older than 30 years. Since 2010, Iran Road Maintenance & Transportation Organization has started implementing a comprehensive Bridge Management System in order to manage this aged stock efficiently. To predict future conditions of bridge stock, a heuristic numerical method is presented. This methodology...

Stochastic flexible flow shop scheduling problem (SFFSSP) is one the main focus of researchers due to the complexity arises from inherent uncertainties and also the difficulty of solving such NP-hard problems. Conventionally, in such problems each machine’s job process time may encounter uncertainty due to their relevant random behaviour. In order to examine such problems more realistically, fi...

Today’s, the transportation facilities such as terminals, street, bridge, etc, represent the major investment in highway network. Every year tremendous resources should be invested to maintain these facilities. Among them, the Bridge Management System (B.M.S.) has been necessitated by large imbalance between extensive bridge repair and maintenance needs and limited available budget. So the main...
متن کاملA multi-stage stochastic programming for condition-based maintenance with proportional hazards model
Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) optimization using Proportional Hazards Model (PHM) is a kind of maintenance optimization problem in which inspections of a system relevant to its failure rate depending on the age and value of covariates are performed in time intervals. The general approach for constructing a CBM based on PHM for a system is to minimize a long run average cost per unit of time...
