Purpose: Developments in Industry 4.0 technologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have enabled data-driven manufacturing. Predictive maintenance (PdM) has therefore become the prominent approach for fault detection and diagnosis (FD/D) of induction motors (IMs). The maintenance and early FD/D...

While job scheduling problems have been studied extensively, scheduling problems with endogenous yield rates that may be affected by predictive maintenance is not thoroughly investigated. In this study, we consider the optimization of a joint predictive maintenance and job scheduling problem for...

We study inventory and repair scheduling decisions of a maintenance service provider for repairable capital goods. Due to high downtime costs, the service provider keeps spare parts on stock to replace broken parts quickly. The service provider should determine the inventory level of spare parts...

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is designed to maximise equipment effectiveness by establishing a comprehensive productive-maintenance system. It provides a holistic, company-wide approach to improving overall operational efficiency by integrating processes and technology which cover the...

The technical and financial management of power substations involves the evaluation of the operational condition of power transformers. Evaluation is an essential stage for maintaining electricity supply and resource efficiency by guiding the process of maintaining and/or upgrading a...

Modern decision support systems need to be connected online to equipment so that the large amount of data available can be used to guide the decisions of shop floor operators, making full use of the potential of industrial manufacturing systems. This paper investigates a novel optimization and...

The Industry 4.0 movement highlights the importance of information and communication technologies. Thus, organizations that are trying to implement those technologies face several interoperability barriers. With this in mind, this paper proposes a digital transformation framework with a focus on...

Scope of the article will cover analysis of special customs procedures and other facilitations that can be used in MRO business. The two research questions that are answered in the paper are: what customs procedures can be used, how they work and if those can reduce costs of MRO operations...
