Abstract

Ship maintenance scheduling is a process to decide start times of maintenance activities that satisfy all precedence and resource constraints and optimize the ship availability. In this paper, ship maintenance scheduling is modelled as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP). The variables of CSP are the start times and its domain values are the start and horizon of the schedule. To solve the ship maintenance scheduling problem in the Royal Malaysian Navy, we have adopted a constraint-based reasoning (CBR) which requires start times of the first activities of maintenance cycles to solve the problem by the CBR. Thus, we adopt a genetic algorithm (GA) to find the start times of the first activities. The simulation results showed the effectiveness of the present hybrid algorithm.
