In this paper, integrated planning of production, imperfect maintenance and process
inspections in a multi-machine system is investigated. This system consists of parallel …

Performance of a manufacturing system depends significantly on the shop floor
performance. Traditionally, shop floor operational policies concerning maintenance …

We study joint preventive maintenance (PM) and production policies for an unreliable
production‐inventory system in which maintenance/repair times are non‐negligible and …

Many industrial facilities consist of multiple units working in parallel to reach a production
target or to maximize production revenues. These units deteriorate due to stress that is often …

This second edition of An Introduction to Predictive Maintenance helps plant, process,
maintenance and reliability managers and engineers to develop and implement a …

Throughput of a manufacturing process depends on the effectiveness of equipment
maintenance, and the availability of spare (service) parts. This paper addresses a joint …

Quality, maintenance and production control are fundamental functions for achieving
desired production targets in multi-stage manufacturing systems. These aspects have been …

It is well known that production scheduling, maintenance and process control decisions
affect each other. Hence it is both essential and prudent to optimize them jointly. This paper …

Joint production system control is a challenge for researchers and a daily defy for managers
and practitioners. The large concern comes from the interdependence between the system …

This paper presents an integrated planning between the three core functions of shop floor
management; maintenance, production scheduling, and quality. The methodology is based …
