Influence of Preventive Maintenance Policy on Manufacturing Systems Performances

affect process time variability and resource utilization, such maintenance planning criteria may cause other adverse effects on the operational performance of the manufacturing system such as an increase in Work In Process (WIP) and cycle time. In this paper some approximate queueing models are utilize to asses the impact of PM interval on WIP. It is shown that WIP value is strongly influenced by the PM interval and that maintenance intervals corresponding to a minimum maintenance cost or minimum WIP can be quite different. This kind of analysis can help in making more informed decisions involving WIP and cost trade-offs.
