TL;DR: The results show that CBM is preferred when the risk possessed by an equipment is very high while CM is preferred in those cases where risk is low and cost is the main consideration, but in cases where both cost and risk are somewhat equally important, TBM is the preferred option.
Abstract: The study deals with the problem of maintenance policy selection for an industrial unit. Maintenance policy selection is a multiple criteria decision making problem. Criteria considered here are 'risk of equipment failure' and the 'cost of maintenance'. The maintenance policies considered are Corrective Maintenance (CM), Time Based Maintenance (TBM), Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) and Shutdown Maintenance (SM). For modeling, fuzzy analytic network process (FANP) has been employed. Chang's extended analysis has been applied to deal with the fuzzy variables and the preferred maintenance policy alternative is found out using FANP analysis. The methodology was applied to a unit of a chemical plant and the suitable maintenance policy was found out for each of the 13 equipment of the unit. The results were compared to the earlier study using Analytic Hierarchal Process and Goal Programming (Arunraj and Maiti, 2010) vis-a-vis the existing practices. The results show that CBM is preferred when the risk possessed by an equipment is very high while CM is preferred in those cases where risk is low and cost is the main consideration. But in cases where both cost and risk are somewhat equally important, TBM is the preferred option.

TL;DR: A linear fractional goal programming model is presented to a timber harvest scheduling problem in order to obtain a balanced age class distribution of a forest plantation in Cuba and obtained several solutions that provided a regulated forest while respecting the economic and other targets of the decision-makers.

TL;DR: Methods for formulating other possible preference structures, such as discontinuities and varying penalty levels dependent on the distance from the goals are proposed.
Abstract: The standard goal programming model only allows linear continuous preference functions to be modelled. In this paper methods for formulating other possible preference structures, such as discontinuities and varying penalty levels dependent on the distance from the goals are proposed. Techniques for ensuring minimal model growth and ease of solution are discussed. An example to illustrate these methods is given.
