Abstract: This paper investigates the integrated non-cyclical preventive maintenance scheduling and production planning for a series-parallel production line. We consider the stochastic dependence between the components of each subsystem. This problem has not been studied so far in the literature even though it represents a realistic configuration. First, we compute the available production capacity restricted by the stochastic dependence. Then, an integer linear program is used to determine the optimal production plan and preventive maintenance schedule. The results show that ignoring the stochastic dependence effect causes many unexpected consequences and additional production and maintenance costs. This work provides practitioners with a set of managerial insights to develop adequate integrated production and maintenance policies.
