A mixed integer optimisation model for preventive maintenance of production plants
Abstract
A good maintenance plan is essential for the majority of production industries. The determination of optimal maintenance and production policies are problems, which clearly depend on each other. In this paper a multiperiod production and maintenance planning model is introduced which handles general failure rate profiles ( e.g. bathtub curve). The overall problem is formulated as a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model. Two numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed model.
