Preventive maintenance scheduling of multi-component systems with interval costs
Abstract We introduce the preventive maintenance scheduling problem with interval costs (PMSPIC), which is to schedule preventive maintenance (PM) of the components of a system over a finite and discretized time horizon, given a common set-up cost...
