"Two-Stage Stochastic Programming Approach for Combined Redundancy Allocation and Preventive Maintenance Planning Under Uncertain Future Usages"
Abstract
We consider an integrated optimization of system reliability design and preventive maintenance when the system is subject to uncertain future usage. A two-stage stochastic programming with recourse is used to address the uncertainty and determine the number of redundant components and preventive maintenance policy with the objective of minimizing the expected construction and maintenance cost per unit time in long term. We demonstrate different models under various situations, including risk-neural and risk-averse cases, periodic and aperiodic maintenance, and minimal, perfect and imperfect repairs. Numerical experiments show the effectiveness and benefits of this modeling and optimization approach under various situations.
