A Deterministic Maintenance-scheduling Problem for a Group of Non-identical Machines
Addresses a deterministic maintenance-scheduling problem for a group of
non-identical machines. The problem is formulated as a mixed integer
non-linear program which is approached heuristically. In the model
formulation, it is assumed that a major overhaul brings the machine back
to its new condition, whereas a minor overhaul restores it to a
specified operating condition. An iterative solution procedure is
developed to obtain a near-optimal cyclic overhaul schedule. Presents a
worked example to illustrate the proposed solution method.
