...Laura Isabel Alvarez Quiñones; Carlos Arturo Lozano-Moncada; Diego Alberto Bravo Montenegro Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe a methodology that has been set up to schedule predictive maintenance of distribution transformers at Cauca Department (Colombia) using machine learning...

...Syed Asif Raza; Abdul Hameed Purpose The findings of this study have lightened the focal research areas in maintenance planning and scheduling. These also served as effective guidelines for future studies in this area. This research, therefore, contributes in fulfilling the gap by carrying out...

...Rodrigo Martins; Francisco Fernandes; Virginia Infante; Antonio R. Andrade Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe an integer linear programming model to schedule the maintenance crew and the maintenance tasks in a bus operating company. Design/methodology/approach The proposed...

... in the specific practices implemented at each site. There was very little alignment in practice, despite the presence of globally aligned procedures. On further investigation by the author, it was found that each site had historically developed their own unique methods for the planning, scheduling and execution...

...Khaled Alhamad; Mohammad Alhajri Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe a method that has been set up to schedule preventive maintenance (PM) tasks for power and water plants with all constraints such as production and maintenance. Design/methodology/approach The proposed methodology...

.... mean time between failures) for equipment (including civil aircraft) are the basis to determine the equipment criticality and to provide system-level guidelines for the allocation of technical and economic resources (Martínez et al., 2013). Based on the task scheduling theory of real-time...

... is to optimally coordinate the maintenance schedule of machines of multi‐branch firms to save the maintenance cost incurred. Design/methodology/approach A search algorithm is proposed that proceeds the searching through the junction points within the lower and upper bounds of the search range. An example...

... concept of intelligent predictive maintenance. In this maintenance system, the seriousness of the damage that is caused by faults in equipment can be determined, and the remnant life of the defective equipment can be predicted. Moreover, the system can automatically schedule maintenance activities...

... the majority of invested capital, and deterioration of these facilities and equipment increases production costs and reduces product quality (Nakajima, 1986; Valdez‐Flores and Feldman, 1989). Managers schedule PM actions to prevent breakdowns and equipment deterioration. However, to maximize return...

...S.O. Duffuaa; M. Ben‐Daya; K.S. Al‐Sultan; A.A. Andijani Maintenance is a complex process that is triggered by equipment failure or planned repair. This process requires planning, scheduling, control and the deployment of maintenance resources to perform necessary maintenance activities...

...Hajime Yamashina; Shunsuke Otani The purpose of this paper is to properly plan the preventive maintenance schedule for multiple elevators and optimize the number of maintenance workers.The total amount of the maintenance cost consisting of the labor cost, the part cost, and the quality cost...

... maintenance” is the default strategy for replacement or repair after failure. This requires no pre‐care on the part of the plant since all effort is focused on organising manpower and effort for failure recovery. 2. (2) “Fixed‐time maintenance” includes works specified in the work maintenance schedule...

...S.O. Duffuaa; K.S. Al‐Sultan Addresses the problem of maintenance planning and scheduling and reviews pertinent literature. Discusses the characteristics and the complexity of the problem. Advocates mathematical programming approaches for addressing the maintenance scheduling problem. Gives...
