Maintenance optimization models and criteria
International Journal of System Assurance Engineering and Management, 2010Due to widespread automation and the high capital tied up in production equipment, the importance of maintenance is ever increasing. This makes maintenance an investment opportunity to be optimized, not a cost to be minimized. Academics have recognized this and many maintenance optimization models have been published over the years.

Optimizing Routine Maintenance Team Routes
Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems, 2015Simulated annealing is a metaheuristic approach for the solution of optimization problems inspired to the controlled cooling of a material from a high temperature to a state in which internal defects of the crystals are minimized. In this paper, we apply a simulated annealing approach to the scheduling of geographically distributed routine maintenance ...

This chapter is the “owner’s manual” part of this book. You might study the physics of dynamic equilibrium, but that does not teach you how to ride a bike. So after months or even years of study and planning, you might know plenty about EMRs, but until you are in the driver’s seat, you really will not know much about how to use them.

Optimal Maintenance in Irrigation
Irrigation and Drainage Systems, 2003This article asks and addresses thequestion ``what is `optimal' maintenance inirrigation.'' It examines alternativedefinitions of irrigation maintenance andexplores pathways of system deteriorationunder alternative input levels. It thendefines maintenance as a service, where thefunctions of arranging, providing, payingfor, and using the service are ...

“Optimal” Policy in a Maintenance Cost Problem
Operations Research, 1967This paper is concerned with estimating the “optimal” policy when the (unknown) cost function C(x) is nonlinear with a single minimum, and can be approximated in the neighborhood of the minimum by a polynomial regression. The value x0, at which C(x) attains minimum, is approximated by ◯0 obtained from the regression function, and the expected value of

Optimization of the maintenance process
SIMULATION, 1985A comprehensive preventive maintenance program minimizes equipment breakdowns and cuts operating costs, which in turn improves productivity. A mathematical definition of the maintenance process and criteria for its optimization is presented in two stages: (1) struc tural optimization of a maintenance process by selecting an ap ...

Optimization of Maintenance Resources
Operations Research, 1965Dynamic; programming techniques appropriate to optimizing a maintenance function are evaluated to demonstrate the feasibility of applying them to large-scale systems involving many equipments. The objective is to determine the proper number, mix, and level of military and/or contractor maintenance personnel, and to apportion expenditures on other ...

On optimization of the maintenance of a register
BIT, 1966Data processing nowadays represents a considerable investment and it is important to use computers as efficiently as possible. Criteria separating the best alternative from other ones would be very useful.
