Abstract

With the product-service requirement of modern production enterprises, service-oriented manufacturing and its corresponding operations and maintenance have gained growing attention. Advances in sensor technology and wireless communication, promoting lessors to propose new strategies for intelligent maintenance decision-making of geographically distributed manufacturing enterprises. In this article, we present a comprehensive strategy for solving the maintenance grouping and technician routing problem of multi-location multi-unit production systems. Based on real-time machine degradation, we estimate the failure rate of leased machines and establish a time-varying maintenance cost function to quantify the trade-off between early maintenance and delayed maintenance. Unlike group maintenance of a single system, we integrate the travel time between systems and the maintenance capacity of technician teams into a mixed-integer optimization model to provide the dynamic preventive maintenance scheme. Finally, numerical examples are employed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy and explore some managerial insights for the lessor’s daily management.
