This paper deals with the problem of integrating noncyclical preventive maintenance and tactical production planning for a single machine. We are given a set of products that must be produced in lots during a specified finite planning horizon. The maintenance policy suggests possible preventive replacements at the beginning of each production planning period, and minimal repair at machine failu...

Accuracy and energy consumption are key aspects to be considered when using serial manipulators in industrial environment. Affordable operational and maintenance costs are very important issues for automated processes. However, high performance robots also require increasing precision when performing sophisticated tasks. In this paper a method for optimal path planning and task adjustment of co...

The European manufactory sector has been greatly impacted in recent times by the COVID-19 pandemic and Russo-Ukrainian conflict, which have made energy prices soar to all-time highs reducing companies’ competitiveness global market. To remain competitive these crises, manufacturing companies need start optimizing not only their costs but also maintenance-derived costs, better planning maintenan...

Wind energy is a key renewable source, yet wind farms have relatively high cost compared with many traditional energy sources. Among the life cycle costs of wind farms, operation and maintenance (O&M) accounts for 25–30%, and an efficient strategy for management of turbines can significantly reduce the O&M cost. Wind turbines are subject to fatigue-induced degradation and need periodic inspecti...

Maintenance is important to manufacturing process as it helps improve the efficiency of production. Although different models of joint deterioration and learning effects have been studied extensively in various areas, it has rarely been studied in the context of scheduling with maintenance activities. This paper considers scheduling with jointly the deterioration and learning effects and multi-...
