With the need for industrial machines to improve production quality and productivity, extend equipment and parts life, and optimize time, implementing a preventive maintenance management system comes as a strategy to plan ...

In this article, we develop a model to help a maintenance decision making situation of a given equipment. We propose a novel model to determine optimal life-cycle duration and intervals between overhauls by minimizing ...

The current scenario of preventive maintenance of small and medium industries in Brazil in general is not satisfactory. This is due to the lack of investment in planning and control of this maintenance, as well as the ...

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present tools to support the preventive conservation of heritage buildings as part of the results of the vlirCPM research project. The tools presented are inventory systems, damage ...

This article proposes a stochastic optimisation model in order to reduce the long-term total maintenance cost of complex systems. The proposed work is based on the following approaches: (i) optimisation of a cost model for ...

This research is based on concepts of maintenance in recent years, epistemologically speaking industrial maintenance is the set of preventives, predictive or corrective tasks in order to have a machine or a system of ...

The aim of this paper is to investigate maintenance effects on system reliability and transmission network expansion planning considering line loading and repairs. For this purpose, the maintenance cost is formulated taking ...

This paper proposes a multiobjective model to solve the mathematical problem of optimizing reliability-centered maintenance planning of an electric power distribution system (EPDS). The main goal is to minimize the preventive ...
