- Preventive maintenance (PM) is performed so that failure is avoided while corrective maintenance is performed after a failure has occurred in order to restore the system back to an operational state. This research aims at scheduling PM activities for a multi-component system within a finite time horizon. We consider a setting with two stakeholders, being the system operator and themaintenanceworkshop, and two different contract types governing their joint activities, namely an availability contract and a turn-around time contract. Components in the systems that are to be maintained are sent to the maintenance workshop, which needs to schedule and perform all maintenance activities while at the same time satisfying the contract and not exceeding the workshop capacity. Our modelling is based on a mixed-binary linear optimization model of a PM scheduling problem with so-called interval costs over a finite and discretized time horizon.We enhance this scheduling model with the flow of individual components through the maintenance workshop, including stocks of spare components, both those components that need repair and the repaired ones. The resulting scheduling model is then utilized in the optimization of two main contracts, namely maximizing the availability of repaired (or new) components and minimizing the deviation from the contracted turn-around times for the components in the maintenance loop. Each of these objectives is combined with the objective to minimize the costs for maintenance of the operating system, leading to two bi-objective optimization problems. We analyse the two contracting forms between the stakeholders by studying and comparing the Pareto fronts resulting from different parameter settings, regarding minimum allowed stock levels and investments in repair capacity of the workshop. Our bi-objective mixed-binary linear optimization model is able to capture important properties of the results from the contracting forms as well as to show that, in our setting, an availability contract performs better than a turn-around time contract in terms of tractability.

- While a system operates, its components deteriorate and in order for the system to remain operational, maintenance of its components is required. Preventive maintenance (PM) is performed so that component failure is avoided. This research aims at scheduling PM activities for a multi-component system within a finite horizon. The system to be maintained possesses positive economic dependencies, meaning that each time any component maintenance activity is performed, a common set-up cost is generated. Each component PM activity generates a cost, including replacement, service, and spare parts costs. We start from a 0-1 mixed integer linear optimization model of the PM scheduling problem with interval costs, which is to schedule PM of the components of a system over a finite and discretized time horizon, given common set-up costs and component costs, of which the latter vary with the maintenance interval. We extend the PMSPIC model to incorporate the flow of components through the maintenance/repair workshop, including stocks of spare components, both the components that require repair and the repaired ones. Our resulting model is a tight integration of the PM and the maintenance workshop scheduling. We investigate two different contract types between stakeholders, present and analyze preliminary numerical results obtained.

- In order for a system to stay operational, its components need maintenance. We consider two stakeholders-a system operator and a maintenance workshop-and a contract governing their joint activities. Components in the operating systems that are to be maintained are sent to the maintenance workshop, which should perform all maintenance activities on time in order to satisfy the contract. The maintained components are then sent back to be used in the operating systems. Our modeling of this system-of-systems includes stocks of damaged and repaired components, the workshop scheduling, and the planning of preventive maintenance for the operating systems. Our modeling is based on a mixed-binary linear optimization (MBLP) model of a preventive maintenance scheduling problem with so-called interval costs over a finite and discretized time horizon. We generalize and extend this model with the flow of components through the workshop, including the stocks of spare components. The resulting scheduling model-a mixed-integer optimization (MILP) model-is then utilized to optimize the main contract in a bi-objective setting: maximizing the availability of repaired (or new) components and minimizing the costs of maintaining the operating systems over the time horizon. We analyze the main contract and briefly discuss a turn-around time contract. Our results concern the effect of our modeling on the levels of the stocks of components over time, in particular minimizing the risk for lack of spare components.
