Optimization of preventive maintenance schedule and production lot size

Suliman, Saad M.A.; Jawad, Sayed Husain - In: International Journal of Production Economics 137 (2012) 1, pp. 19-28

In this research, a developed mathematical model is proposed to optimize the preventive maintenance age and lot size for a single-unit production system producing a single item. The system is assumed to start in an in-control state producing items of acceptable quality and then after a period of...
