This paper describes a study in which … system maintenance and EOL processes were combined and closed-loop supply chain systems were constructed to analyze the …, maintenance cost, inspection cost, sales revenues, and profitability, were determined and a design of experiments study was …

We analyze the impact of obsolescence of economic inventions by incorporating maintenance costsin the endogenous growth … model of expanding product varieties. This contrasts with the existingliterature, which ignores maintenance costs and uses … the model of quality improvements todescribe obsolescence. If the maintenance costs become too high, the operating profits …

This paper presents a generic modeling framework to simultaneously decide about production quantities and maintenance … wear and tear. For this reason frequent maintenance activities need to be coordinated with the production operations in … maintenance and di erent modes of interaction between maintenance and setups. As the model is numerically intractable for standard …

We develop a stochastic general equilibrium model in which maintenance endogenously affects the capital depreciation … rate. The model performs well in generating maintenance series that match closely existing survey-based measures for Canada …. Maintenance is procyclical and comoves almost always with output.

Both maintenance activities are assumed to restore the machine to become `as good as new'. Furthermore it is assumed that … jobs, interrupted by a machine failure, have to get restarted after the corrective maintenance is finished (non …
