A dynamic policy for grouping maintenance activities
Article Abstract:
Grouping is a tool that can be utilized by engineers to minimize system-dependent set-up costs incurred in conducting maintenance activities for technical systems. Costs are minimized since only one set-up is utilized in the execution of a group of activities. These can be achieved through the use of a general grouping approach, a method that uses long-term maintenance strategies to create a short-term maintenance plan.

Article Abstract:
A two-level location network was created to resolve a vital logistic problem of recycling sand. The developed network includes solution procedures, namely lower and upper bound procedures, that are heuristics in nature. Its solution tools allow people involved in the recycling to redo the analysis easily whenever data change and to maximize the transportation of the sand in a part of the network.
