Optimal clustering of frequency-constrained maintenance jobs with shared set-ups
Article Abstract:
Maintenance engineers are experiencing difficulties with frequency-constrained maintenance jobs since these jobs require varying degrees of joint execution or clustering rules. Strong dominance rules are required for maintenance jobs with common set-ups. On the other hand, less strong dominance rules are utilized for maintenance jobs with shared set-ups. However, the problem can be eliminated through the use of a heuristic procedure and a branch and bound method.

Balancing U-lines in a multiple U-line facility
Article Abstract:
A reaching dynamic programming algorithm effective in balancing and rebalancing U-line facilities is presented. The algorithm is found to be effective provided U-lines do not have more than 22 tasks and wide, sparse precedence graphs. The algorithm is found to be effective in assigning tasks to a minimum number of irregular, crossover and multiline stations while satisfying constraints and in such a way that idle times are used for improvement efforts.
