Abstract

This work discusses the practical implications of managerial decisions to integrate the scheduling of production and maintenance operations. Integrating both decisions will assure minimizing product holding costs and maintenance costs. In this paper we discuss the case involving a single machine processing a number of jobs differing in processing time requirements. The machine goes through preventive maintenance or corrective maintenance activities which in effect increases the total production cost. We present a modified version of the integrated model developed by Hadidi (Int J Math Oper Res 3: 395–413, 2011) and demonstrate its utilization under various conditions to emphasize the practical implications of the model. In practice, managerial decisions are highly affected by the cost parameters of maintenance, correction and holding costs.
