“…Note that the results of the above optimal planning policy (obtained from the solution of problem P2) should be validated at the scheduling level (see, for example, refs and ). In that sense, the output of the planning model, such as the number and timings of the preventive maintenance tasks, can be incorporated into a detailed process/maintenance scheduling framework.…”

“…The importance of considering reliability and maintenance criteria in process manufacturing, design, and operation has been recognized over the past 15 years (see, for example, refs 2-11). Most of the previous work focused on continuous processes, with only a few works specifically concerned with multipurpose operation (for example, refs [12][13][14][15][16]. A common theme that is emerging from previous work is the need for the introduction of consistent and rigorous system effectiveness criteria (for example, refs 10, 17, and 18) to characterize the performance of a process system from both the availability and the productivity points of view.…”

Process design and operations are typically concerned with the optimal selection, design, and efficient utilization of assets and resources over a time horizon of interest. The degree of utilization of process plant components critically depends on the availability level of equipment components. These availability levels are mainly associated with equipment reliability, failure characteristics, and maintenance policies. This paper presents a system effectiveness optimization framework for multipurpose plants that involves a novel preventive maintenance model coupled with a multiperiod planning model. This provides the basis for simultaneously identifying production and maintenance policies by exploiting (i) opportunities to perform preventive maintenance during equipment idle time and (ii) flexibility in selecting different production routes to potentially mitigate the adverse effects of equipment failure on the production plan. Extensions to include design decisions are also discussed. All problems are formulated as mixed integer linear programming (MILP) models, and their applicability is demonstrated by a number of illustrative examples.
