We model a joint inspection and spare parts inventory policy for maintaining machines in a parallel system, where simultaneous downtime seriously impacts upon production performance and has a significant financial consequence. This dependency between... Read More about Joint maintenance-inventory optimisation of parallel production systems.

Optimisation of inspection policy for multi-line production systems (2018)
Journal Article
Zahedi-Hosseini, F., Syntetos, A., & Scarf, P. (2018). Optimisation of inspection policy for multi-line production systems. European Journal of Industrial Engineering, 12(2), 233. https://doi.org/10.1504/EJIE.2018.090616

This paper develops a simulation model to determine the cost-optimum inspection policy for a multi-line production system taking account of simultaneous downtime. The machines in the multi-line system are subject to a two stage failure process that i... Read More about Optimisation of inspection policy for multi-line production systems.

Modelling and simulation for the joint optimisation of inspection maintenance and spare parts inventory in multi-line production settings
Thesis
Zahedi-Hosseini, F. (in press). Modelling and simulation for the joint optimisation of inspection maintenance and spare parts inventory in multi-line production settings. (Thesis). University of Salford

A simulation methodology is developed to model the joint optimisation of preventive maintenance and spare parts inventory in multi-line settings. The multi-line machines are subject to failure, based on the delay-time concept, and a selection of poli...
