Most maintenance-optimisation models assume an infinite planning horizon and suppose that the failure process is … information (such as a variable use of components and the occurrence of maintenance opportunities). With numerical experiments we … stationary-planning method with the costs according to an approach which can adapt this long-term plan to dynamically changing …

In this paper we review the literature on multi-component maintenance models with economic dependence. The emphasis is … Parlar (1991). The classification scheme that we choose is primarily based on the various options of grouping maintenance … activities: grouping either corrective or preventive maintenance actions, or combining preventive maintenance activities with …

A maintenance activity carried out on a technical system often involves a system-dependent set-up cost that is the same … for all maintenance activities carried out on that system. Grouping activities thus saves costs since execution of a group … of activities requires only one set-up. By now, there are several multi-component maintenance models available in the …

Nowadays railway companies are confronted with high infrastructure maintenance costs. Therefore good strategies are … needed to carry out these maintenance activities in a most cost effective way. In this paper we solve the preventive … maintenance scheduling problem (PMSP) using genetic algorithms, memetic algorithms and a two-phase heuristic based on …

Frauds can be explained not only in terms of individual willingness to cheat, but may also be driven by opportunities … types. On the other hand, in most of the cases, the authority should first ensure that people with lower opportunities …

We present a fast approach that allows interactive planning by showing how shifts from …A maintenance activity carried out on a technical system often involves a system-dependent set-up cost that is the same … for all maintenance activities carried out on that system.

Accurate prediction of medical operation times is of crucial importance for cost efficient operation room planning in … about 1,250 surgical operations in 2009 is improved by up to more than 15 percent as compared to current planning procedures. …

From Decentralisation of Planning to Peoples Planning - Experiences of the Indian States of Kerala and West Bengal by … Charvak, 2000: The Discussion Paper attempts a comparison of the process of decentralisation of planning in the two States …) as well as the KSSP experiment (from Science Popularisation to Local Level Planning) is also given.

the core of the model is the adaptive planning equation. Other equations are presented and discussed as well. The model is …

Managers are often told that formal planning helps. It is useful to examine whether this is good advice. Thus, I … applaud this effort to study marketing planning in New Zealand. Nevertheless, I find it difficult to accept the conclusions … drawn by the authors of “Marketing Planning in New Zealand” (MPNZ). I am concerned with the definition of marketing planning …
