MANUFACTURING SCHEDULES THAT INTEGRATE MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES

摘要

Systems, techniques, and computer-program products are provided to generate manufacturing schedules that integrate maintenance strategies. A manufacturing schedule can be generated by solving an optimization problem subject to operational constraints that preserve consistency in the order of the operations to be performed during the manufacture of a product, and further subject to maintenance constraints that enforce a desired maintenance strategy. The optimization problem can be solved by minimizing a makespan of a product subject to the operational and maintenance constraints.
