Unified matrix approach to solve production-maintenance problems on a single machine
Résumé
We are presenting a general unified matrix framework for production-maintenance systems on a single machine. We have positional processing times and we propose a very general time dependent weighted maintenance system that includes most of the models from the literature. Several performance criteria are included and we show that a broad class of these problems can be modeled as assignment and rectangular assignment problems so that standard software can be utilized to determine their optimal solutions.
