Simulation-optimization in Geographic Maintenance Scheduling
نویسنده
چکیده
An application of a combination of scheduling theory, simulation modelling and combinatorial optimization is presented. The system under study deals with human resource and assets management to perform maintenance in large support networks. The paper includes the development of the framework of the software tool that will be embedded into the commercial maintenance package called INGRID. Following the modelling approach, a fully detailed explanation of the data requirements, the decision variables and the output variables is given. A detailed discussion on the genetic algorithm that is going to be used is also provided. The routines have been developed in spreadsheets so that there is an easy link with the rest of the software application.

A new approach for constraining failure probability of a critical deteriorating system Yard crane scheduling in port container terminals using genetic algorithm
In this paper, we focus on a continuously deteriorating critical equipment which its failure cannot be measured by cost criterion. For these types of systems like military systems, nuclear systems, etc it is extremely important to avoid failure during the actual operation of the system. In this paper we propose an approach which constrains failure probability to a pre-specified value. This valu...

Traditional scheduling problems with the batch processing machines (BPM) assume that machines are continuously available, and no time is needed for their preventive maintenance (PM). In this paper, we study a realistic variant of flowshop scheduling which integrates flow shop batch processing machines (FBPM) and preventive maintenance for minimizing the makespan. In order to tackle the given pr...

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...
