Abstract. This paper deals with the problem of the joint optimization of the master production schedule and maintenance strategy for a manufacturing system. An efficient production planning and maintenance policy will allow to minimize the impacts of the potential random failures and will let the plan to be feasible. We present a modelisation where we take into account a feasibility constraint ; the optimization problem is formulated as a linear program. We propose an heuristic algorithm to solve it and we show the impact of the feasibility constraint on different criteria.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
