Abstract

The paper presents a new improved preventive maintenance strategy for a forecasting problem of production and maintenance optimisation under subcontractor constraint. In order to satisfy the customer, the manufacturing system consists of a principal machine M1 and called upon subcontractor machine Ms. Knowing that both machines are subjected to random failures, failure rate of main machine increases with time and according to production rates. An improved preventive maintenance strategy is used for control of the machine M1, whereas subcontractor machine Ms is uncontrollable from preventive maintenance point of view. An analytic formulation of problem has been proposed in order to determine the economical production plans for M1 and Ms. An improved maintenance strategy (IMS) is developed in order to minimise the total production loss, when the subcontractor machine is unavailable. It consists of determining the best time to perform preventive maintenance actions taking into account production rates, history of M1 and the state of subcontractor machine Ms. Numerical results and sensitivity analysis are presented to highlight the performance measure and the usefulness of the IMS.
