Optimization models for improving periodic maintenance schedules by utilizing opportunities
Paper in proceeding, 2012

We present mathematical models for finding optimal opportunistic maintenance schedules for systems, in which components are assigned maximum replacement intervals. Our mod- els are applied to safety-critical components in an aircraft engine, for which maintenance opportunities naturally arise since entire modules are sent to the workshop when mainte- nance is required on one or more components. Case study results illustrate the advantage of the mathematical models over simpler policies, the benefit of coordinating the maintenance in economically dependent systems, and that our models can be utilized also for strategic investment decision support.
