Abstract
- The paper describes a new preventive maintenance approach for manufacturing systems under environment constraints. The manufacturing system under consideration consists of a machine M<subscript>1</subscript> that produces a single product in a Just-in-Time context. To satisfy a constant demand d, the system called upon another machine M<subscript>2</subscript> (the subcontractor), comprising the so-called environment, which produces at a certain rate the same type of product as M<subscript>1</subscript>. Both machines are subjected to random failures. Whereas machine M<subscript>2</subscript> is uncontrollable from the maintenance point of view, an age-limit policy is used for preventive maintenance of machine M<subscript>1</subscript>. It is proved that the best age to perform preventive maintenance depends on the history of machine M<subscript>1</subscript> and the state of M<subscript>2</subscript>. A numerical example is used to illustrate the proposed approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
