The sustainability of service and manufacturing operations rely heavily on the availability of
equipment and assets. High availability of assets can be achieved with effective …

In this study, we address the design problem of a single repair shop in a repairable multi-
item spare part supply system. We propose a sequential solution heuristic to solve the joint …

In this paper, we address the assignment problem of skills to servers (eg, repairmen) in a
multi-server repair shop of a spare parts supply system. This type of assignment problems …

This paper addresses the joint optimization problem of skill assignments and inventory in a
multi-skill, multi-server repair facility. Failures of different part types occur according to …

We study cross-training policies in a single multi-skill, multi-server repair facility with an
inventory of ready-to-use spare parts. The repair facility has an inventory facility for different …

We study a single location supply system for repairable spare parts. The system consists of a
multi-server repairshop and inventory of ready-to-use spare parts. When a failed part is …

An effective spare part supply system planning is essential to achieve a high capital asset
availability. We investigate the design problem of a repair shop in a single echelon …

We study cross-training policies in a single multi-skill, multiserver repair facility with an
inventory of ready-to-use spare parts. The repair facility has an inventory facility for different …

The importance of queueing server flexibilities and cross-training policies has been
discussed since the 1990s. The cross-training policies have shown their efficiencies in …

We study a pooling-inventory-capacity problem that arises in the design of repair shops for
repairable spare part logistic systems. We formulate the problem as a stochastic nonlinear …
