Setup times optimization with considering maintenance scheduling by using nonlinear modeling

The present paper, titled “optimizing the time of preparation, taking into account the timing of   repair and maintenance using non-linear modeling”, has been implemented with the aim of designing and presenting a mathematical model to get the best sequence of operations leading to minimum the total time of production. The main research question is related to the reduction of time and production costs following the implementation of the presented model. The method of research’s data and information collection, have been survey and study and library resources, referring to the documentations of repair, maintenance and production segments in the company and expert managers in the areas of planning, engineering production and … Following, the model taking into account the constraints of cost and time, as well as the limitations of the production system is presented. LINGO software is used to solve the models and model outputs, will provide the local solutions that would show the best sequence. And finally it can be extended the model to other industrial units with only smart alternations and present the best operational sequence related to multifunctional machines.
