Preventive maintenance is widely accepted within the industry as an effective means to
reduce the number of failures and keep manufacturing systems in good conditions. This …

Methodologies for designing maintenance policies, such as Reliability Centered
Maintenance (RCM), provide a list of recommended preventive maintenance (PM) activities …

Maintenance grouping methods such as the rolling horizon approach are effective in
reducing maintenance costs of multi-component systems. Despite the theoretical …

Discovering the optimal maintenance planning strategy can have a substantial impact on
production efficiency, yet this aspect is often overlooked in favor of production planning. This …

With the aging of production systems, failure modes become more common resulting in
additional maintenance costs. To reduce these costs excess, flexible and smart …

This paper aims to propose a Novel Condition-based maintenance (CBM) decision aid
model for optimising the maintenance of complex multi-component systems. As the …

The reusable rocket engine (RRE), recognized as future propulsion system for space
transportation, is composed of multiple components of which each one plays an essential …

Industrial environments such as manufacturing and transportation industries usually involve
fleets of identical systems that must carry out several missions interspersed with scheduled …

A k-out-of-n: G system and a system with components subject to soft and hard failures are
both inspected non-periodically. For the k-out-of-n system, components fail “silently”(ie are …

This paper develops an Opportunistic Maintenance (OM) model for the hot rolling production
line consisting of multiple bulky multi-component equipment under the constraint of limited …
