The economic and political realities of the 1990s forced managers to reverse long-standing organizational cultures in order to reduce costs and energy expenditures in their organisations. For instance, these can be achieved, with respect to maintenance, by replacing a reactive repair-focused attitude by a proactive reliability-focused culture. Thereby far less (i) human effort is expended and (...

Most production scheduling problems, including the standard flexible job-shop scheduling problem (FJSP), assume that machines are continuously available. However, in most realistic situations, machines may become unavailable during certain periods due to preventive maintenance (PM). In this paper, a flexible job-shop scheduling problem with machine availability constraints is considered. Each m...

The High-Variety, Low-Volume (HVLV) scheduling problem is one of the most arduous combinatorial optimization problems. This paper considers an interesting formulation of the HVLV scheduling problem using (max, +) algebra while periodic Preventive Maintenance (PM) is considered. Maintenance is time based since activities are periodically fixed: maintenance is required after a periodic time inter...

The complexities associated with software system implemented often makes it imperative to maintain the existing software as a system of high functionality and throughput regime even in the face of changed external environment. It is preferable to enhance the functional operation by upgrading the existing software than changing entire systems as is demonstrated by continued usage of proprietary ...

Scheduling has become an attractive area for artificial intelligence researchers. On other hand, in today's real-world manufacturing systems, the importance of an efficient maintenance schedule program cannot be ignored because it plays an important role in the success of manufacturing facilities. A maintenance program may be considered as the heath care of manufacturing machines and equipments...

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in today’s world have numerous issues ensuring the availability safety of critical machines their components working environment. As a result, SMEs considered planning scheduling maintenance tasks to be significant threat. The goal this research is identify subsystem automobile spare parts production plant southern region Tamil Nadu, India, then priorit...

This paper integrates noncyclical preventive maintenance with tactical production planning in multistate systems. The maintenance policy suggests noncyclical preventive replacements of components, and minimal repair on failed components. The model gives simultaneously the appropriate instants for preventive maintenance, and production planning decisions. It determines an integrated lot-sizing a...

Preventice maintenance of operational software systems is a novel technique for software fault tolerance, used speci cally to counteract the phenomenon of software \aging". However, it incurs some overhead. The necessity to do preventive maintenance not only in general purpose software systems of mass use but also in safety-critial and highly availabile systems clearly indicate the need to foll...

Preventive maintenance (PM) implementation at POLMAN Bandung is scheduled to follow the lecture schedule so that of activities does not interfere with process. Even though scheduling preventive has been made quite well, there are problems in its implementation, including some were detected previous PM both form activity reports and machine history updates. This can confuse subsequent pm impleme...
