Spare parts are held to reduce the consequences of equipment downtime, playing an
important role in achieving the desired equipment availability at a minimum economic cost …

The integration in production planning, scheduling, maintenance and quality has gained
much attention from researchers in recent years. These areas are usually treated …

Manufacturing decisions inherently face uncertainties and imprecision. Fuzzy logic, and
tools based on fuzzy logic, allow for the inclusion of uncertainties and imperfect information …

The objectives of this research are to identify the research trends in and publication outlets
for the applications of the fuzzy set theory technique in production and operations …

Classification is one of the critical issues in the operations management of spare parts. The
issue of managing spare parts involves multiple criteria to be taken into consideration, and …

Purpose Maintenance management is a vital strategic task given the increasing demand on
sustained availability of machines. Machine performance depends primarily on frequency …

This article is devoted to the issue of forecasting exchange rates. The objective of the
conducted research is to develop a predictive model with the use of an innovative …

Electrochemical machining (ECM) is a manufacturing process that offers a number of
advantages (eg no mechanical stress) over its nearest competitors as certain trends in …

In this paper, we analyse an optimal production, repair and replacement problem for a
manufacturing system subject to random machine breakdowns. The system produces parts …

Purpose–This paper aims to propose an approach for the optimization of imperfect
preventive maintenance and corrective actions performed on a single machine. After …
