Abstract

In this paper, we deal with the problem of maintenance planning and production planning for a multiple-product manufacturing system. The manufacturing system under consideration consists of one machine which is subject to random failures and produces several products in order to satisfy some random demands. At any given time, the machine can only produce one type of product. The purpose of this study is to establish an economical production planning followed by an optimal maintenance strategy, taking into account the influence of production rate on the system degradation. Analytical models are developed in order to minimize sequentially the production/storage costs and the total maintenance cost. Finally, a numerical example is presented to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed approach.
