Grouping maintenance strategy with availability constraint under limited repairmen

چکیده
The paper deals with a development of the rolling horizon approach introduced recently for grouping maintenance strategies of multi-component systems by integrating two efficient optimization algorithms. The proposed approach can help to construct an optimal maintenance planning with a given availability constraint under limited repairmen. Thanks to the rolling horizon spirit, the maintenance planning can be updated to take into account shortterm information which could be changed with time. A numerical example of a multi-component system is finally introduced to illustrate the use and the advantages of the proposed approach in the maintenance optimization framework.

Maintenance grouping for multi-component systems with availability constraints and limited maintenance teams
The paper deals with a maintenance grouping approach for multi-component systems whose components are connected in series. The considered systems are required to serve a sequence of missions with limited breaks/stoppage durations while maintenance teams (repairmen) are limited and may vary over time. The optimization of the maintenance grouping decision for such multi-component systems leads to...
متن کاملAn Optimal Preventive Maintenance Model to Enhance Availability and Reliability of Flexible Manufacturing Systems
General preventive maintenance model for the components of a system, which improves the reliability to ‘as good as new,’ was used to optimize the maintenance cost. The cost function of a maintenance policy was minimized under given availability constraint. On the other hand, in order to ensure appropriate reliability and availability, the development of the optimal maintenanc...
متن کاملDynamic grouping maintenance strategy with time limited opportunities
This paper presents a dynamic grouping maintenance strategy for multi-component systems with positive economic dependence, which implies that combining maintenance activities is cheaper than performing maintenance on components separately. Preventive maintenance durations and occurrences of maintenance activities within the scheduling horizon are considered. Moreover, in presence of opportuniti...
متن کاملAvailability analysis of mechanical systems with condition-based maintenance using semi-Markov and evaluation of optimal condition monitoring interval
Maintenance helps to extend equipment life by improving its condition and avoiding catastrophic failures. Appropriate model or mechanism is, thus, needed to quantify system availability vis-a-vis a given maintenance strategy, which will assist in decision-making for optimal utilization of maintenance resources. This paper deals with semi-Markov process (SMP) modeling for steady state availabili...
متن کاملSolving a New Multi-objective Inventory-Routing Problem by a Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm
This paper considers a multi-period, multi-product inventory-routing problem in a two-level supply chain consisting of a distributor and a set of customers. This problem is modeled with the aim of minimizing bi-objectives, namely the total system cost (including startup, distribution and maintenance costs) and risk-based transportation. Products are delivered to customers by some heterogeneous ...
