Abstract

This research presents optimized maintenance design using simulation to analyze the capability of auto part manufacturing production system. The integration of simulation and optimization is used to identify critical stations, an optimal system design and maintenance scheduling schemes and evaluates their effects on the overall system performance. Most emphasis is focused on the impact on system by individual station reliability and the fluctuation of maintenance availability. The proposed simulation and optimization for maintenance design is validated through real-life application. This simulation modeling and optimization could help for manufacturing performance improvement.
