Modelling and simulation for the joint maintenance-inventory optimisation of production systems (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Zahedi-Hosseini, F. (2018, December). Modelling and simulation for the joint maintenance-inventory optimisation of production systems. Presented at Winter Simulation Conference 2018, Gothenburg, Sweden

Simulation methodologies are developed to model the joint optimization of preventive maintenance and spare parts inventory for a specific industrial plant under different production configurations. First, spare parts provisioning for a single-line sy... Read More about Modelling and simulation for the joint maintenance-inventory optimisation of production systems.

Joint maintenance-inventory optimisation of parallel production systems (2018)
Journal Article

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.
