In this article, a stochastic model is presented to schedule the maintenance tasks and control
the inventory simultaneously in an unreliable deteriorating production system. The optimal …

In the competitive business environment, manufacturers are seeking strategies to improve
the product quality and the system reliability while reducing the costs. This paper addresses …

This paper discusses the issue of integrating production planning and preventive
maintenance in manufacturing production systems. In particular, it tackles the problem of …

This paper presents a joint optimal inventory control and preventive maintenance strategy
for a randomly failing production unit which supplies an assembly line operating according …

Due to unreliable production facility and stochastic preventive maintenance, deriving an
optimal production inventory decision in practice is very complicated. In this paper, we …

Over the last few decades, many efforts have been invested in improving the economic
performances of maintenance policies for stochastically deteriorating production systems …

In this paper, we study the integrated production-maintenance optimization problem of a
deteriorating machine where random yield and maintenance delay are considered. The …

This paper presents a control policy of integrated production, maintenance and quality
control planning for a continuous production system subject to quality deterioration. The …

Inventory control and maintenance systems are two main processes in production systems
that play a vital role in the efficiency of production resources. This study aims to propose a …

In this paper we address a problem of spare parts returns and potential reuse opportunities
for a manufacturing system with a single machine M subject to a monotonous and stochastic …
