TL;DR: This paper proposes a model to find the optimal periodic inspection interval on a finite time horizon for a complex repairable system where soft failures are detected and fixed only at planned inspections, but not at moments of hard failures.

TL;DR: A multi-criteria decision-making model to prioritize medical devices according to their criticality is presented and how individual score values obtained for each criterion can be used to establish guidelines for appropriate maintenance strategies for different classes of devices is described.

TL;DR: A model to find an optimal periodic inspection interval over finite and infinite time horizons for a multi-component repairable system subject to hidden failures is proposed.

TL;DR: This paper investigates how real-time updates on unexpected arrivals, the availability of machines, and the completion times of operations can be utilized to generate new schedules (i.e., rescheduling) in complex manufacturing systems, such as flexible job shops.

TL;DR: A stochastic mixed-integer programming model is developed which jointly optimizes production scheduling and maintenance planning in a single-machine production environment and shows that making decisions according to the deterioration level of the machine results in more integrated and cost-effective plans compared to the current method of repairing the machine only once it has reached its failure state.
