Abstract

Line performance and equipment utilization have been major points of interest for many companies due to their direct impact on productivity. Achieving the highest possible utilization while maximizing throughput will improve the line performance; will also show significant increase on the line productivity. There are many variables that affect the line utilization and performance and preventive maintenance schedule is one of them. In this paper a multi criteria decision making approach will be implemented to select the preventive maintenance schedule that gives the best utility and performance values. To demonstrate the selection process a bread packaging line is used as a case study. Environmental conditions and line behavior are developed and simulated by using an Arena-based simulation model. The Arena model is to be used as a support tool for the multi criteria decision making process.

Flexible job shop scheduling with preventive maintenance consideration
Abstract
In highly automated manufacturing systems running 24/7, preventive maintenance activities need to be executed during production times. Flexible job shops with several identical machines generally bear the potential to compensate temporary machine ...
Incorporating periodic preventive maintenance into flexible flowshop scheduling problems

One of the most thoroughly studied scheduling assumptions is considering that machines may not be periodically available during the production scheduling. Although many researchers have made great attempts at integrating production and preventive ...
