Abstract

Over the last few decades the maintenance of systems has become more and more complex. One reason for this is that systems consist of many components which depend on each other. On the one hand, interactions between components complicate the modelling and optimization of maintenance. On the other hand, interactions also offer the opportunity to group maintenance which may save costs. It follows that planning maintenance actions is a big challenge and it is not surprising that many scholars have studied maintenance optimization problems for multi-component systems. In some articles new solution methods for existing problems are proposed, in other articles new maintenance policies for multi-component systems are studied. Moreover, the number of papers with practical applications of optimal maintenance of multi-component systems is still growing.
