Abstract:

This article discusses the issue of integrated planning of maintenance activities and production operations at the tactical level for multi-line systems with separate resources and introducing the breaking on demand constraint and that of setup time. The maintenance policy offers preventive replacements in the beginning of each cycle and minimal repairs in case of random failure. The model defined an objective function that reduces the overall cost and can simultaneously determine the optimal production plan (producing, lunching, storing and breaking costs) and the moment of replacement. The resolution is made with the mixed integer linear solver CPLEX. Then we provide a numerical example to illustrate the results and represent the economic gap between the separate and integrated planning.
