This work reviews maintenance optimization from different and complementary points of
view. Specifically, we systematically analyze the knowledge, information and data that can …

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Association of European Operational
Research Societies (EURO), we share our perspectives and reflections on maintenance …

Developments in sensor techniques enable the continuous monitoring of the health of an
operating system. The resulting condition data provides an opportunity for better prediction …

We investigate whether historical machine failures and maintenance records may be used to
derive future machine failure estimates and, in turn, prescribe advancements of scheduled …

Selecting the appropriate maintenance type is a challenging task that involves multiple
criteria working together. This decision has a significant impact on the organization and its …

Standby techniques are widely incorporated in structural design to enhance the inherent
reliability of systems. To further leverage the system performance during operation, decision …

Recently, firms have begun to handle the design, manufacturing, and maintenance of capital
goods through a consolidated mechanism called the integrated product-service system. This …

We consider multiple newly designed single-component systems with a known finite
lifespan. The component in each system can be replaced preventively to avoid a costly …

Navigation of male moths towards females during the mating search offers a unique
perspective on the exploration–exploitation (EE) model in decision-making. This study uses …

Data-based prognostic methods exploit sensor data to forecast the remaining useful life
(RUL) of industrial settings to optimize the scheduling of maintenance actions. However …
