Multi-level Hierarchical Modelling Framework Concept for Mixture Scheduling of Preventive and Corrective Maintenance

This presentation will demonstrate how to determine staff assignments or personnel and to reduce worker costs. The scheduling concepts of preventive maintenance are widely modelled and adopted in many previous research studies, but the scheduling concepts of corrective maintenance are very scarcely modelled or studied because we cannot anticipate or guess when the machine or system failure will occur. Additionally, even more difficult is the determination of staff assignment scheduling for corrective maintenance. Furthermore, the most difficult thing is establishing the algorithm for the mix of scheduling preventive and corrective maintenance. Nevertheless, as mentioned before, it is not impossible to do.
