To be able to compete successfully both at national and
international levels, production systems and equipment must perform
at levels not even thinkable a decade ago. Requirements for
increased product quality, reduced throughput time and enhanced
operating effectiveness within a rapidly changing customer demand
environment continue to demand a high maintenance performance. In
some cases, maintenance is required to increase operational
effectiveness and revenues and customer satisfaction while reducing
capital, operating and support costs. This may be the largest
challenge facing production enterprises these days. For this,
maintenance strategy is required to be aligned with the production
logistics and also to keep updated with the current best practices.
Maintenance has become a multidisciplinary activity and one may
come across situations in which maintenance is the responsibility
of people whose training is not engineering. This handbook aims to
assist at different levels of understanding whether the manager is
an engineer, a production manager, an experienced maintenance
practitioner or a beginner. Topics selected to be included in this
handbook cover a wide range of issues in the area of maintenance
management and engineering to cater for all those interested in
maintenance whether practitioners or researchers. This handbook is
divided into 6 parts and contains 26 chapters covering a wide range
of topics related to maintenance management and engineering.
Production planning, inventory management, quality control, and
maintenance policy are critical components of the manufacturing
system. The effective integration of these four components gives a
manufacturing operation the competitive edge in today's global
market place. Integrated Models in Production Planning, Inventory,
Quality, and Maintenance provides, in one volume, the latest
developments in the integration of production, quality, and
maintenance models. Prominent researchers, who are actively engaged
in these areas, have contributed the topical chapters focused on
the most recent issues in the area. In Part I, Ben-Daya and Rahim
provide an overview of the literature dealing with integrated
models for production, quality, and maintenance. Directions for
future research are outlined. Part II contains six chapters
(chapters 2 to 6) dealing with integrated models for production and
maintenance. Part III deals with integrated production/inventory
and quality models in chapters 7-11. Part IV focuses on quality and
maintenance integrated models and contains two chapters. Part V
deals with warranty, manufacturing, and quality and contains two
chapters. Part VI addresses issues related to quality and contains
three chapters (chapters 16-18).
Production costs are being reduced by automation, robotics,
computer-integrated manufacturing, cost reduction studies and more.
These new technologies are expensive to buy, repair, and maintain.
Hence, the demand on maintenance is growing and its costs are
escalating. This new environment is compelling industrial
maintenance organizations to make the transition from fixing broken
machines to higher-level business units for securing production
capacity. On the academic front, research in the area of
maintenance management and engineering is receiving tremendous
interest from researchers. Many papers have appeared in the
literature dealing with the modeling and solution of maintenance
problems using operations research (OR) and management science (MS)
techniques. This area represents an opportunity for making
significant contributions by the OR and MS communities.
Maintenance, Modeling, and Optimization provides in one volume the
latest developments in the area of maintenance modeling. Prominent
scholars have contributed chapters covering a wide range of topics.
We hope that this initial contribution will serve as a useful
informative introduction to this field that may permit additional
developments and useful directions for more research in this
fast-growing area. The book is divided into six parts and contains
seventeen chapters. Each chapter has been subject to review by at
least two experts in the area of maintenance modeling and
optimization. The first chapter provides an introduction to major
maintenance modeling areas illustrated with some basic models. Part
II contains five chapters dealing with maintenance planning and
scheduling. Part III deals with preventive maintenance in six
chapters. Part IV focuses on condition-based maintenance and
contains two chapters. Part V deals with integrated production and
maintenance models and contains two chapters. Part VI addresses
issues related to maintenance and new technologies, and also deals
with Just-in-Time (JIT) and Maintenance.
