Condition-based maintenance (CBM) detects early signs of failure and dictates when
maintenance should be performed based on the actual condition of a system. In this paper …

Quality is a key determinant in deploying new processes, products, or services and
influences the adoption of emerging manufacturing technologies. The advent of additive …

Developments in sensor equipment and the Internet of Things increasingly allow production
facilities to be monitored and controlled remotely and in real-time. Organizations can exploit …

Problem Definition: Many production systems deteriorate over time as a result of load and
stress caused by production. The deterioration rate of these systems typically depends on …

This paper examines a single-stage production system that deteriorates with production
actions, and improves with maintenance. The condition of the process can be in any of …

Many products with several types are produced in more than one production stage subject to
various potential complications, yield uncertainty being a very costly one. This study …

Healthcare expenditures in the US are approaching $2 trillion, and hospitals and other
healthcare providers are under tremendous pressure to rein in costs. One cost-saving …

In highly flexible and integrated manufacturing systems, such as semiconductor
manufacturing, the strong dynamic interactions between the equipment condition …

Problem definition: Production systems deteriorate stochastically due to use and may
eventually break down, resulting in high maintenance costs at scheduled maintenance …

Previous work has considered the simultaneous (as opposed to sequential) optimization of a
maintenance policy and a production policy in a multi‐product setting with random yield and …
