In order to solve the joint optimization of production scheduling and maintenance planning problem in the flexible job-shop, a multiobjective joint optimization model considering the maximum completion time and maintenance costs per unit time is established based on the concept of flexible job-shop and preventive maintenance. A weighted sum method is adopted to eliminate the index dimension. In addition, a double-coded genetic algorithm is designed according to the problem characteristics. The best result under the circumstances of joint decision-making is obtained through multiple simulation experiments, which proves the validity of the algorithm. We can prove the superiority of joint optimization model by comparing the result of joint decision-making project with the result of independent decision-making project under fixed preventive maintenance period. This study will enrich and expand the theoretical framework and analytical methods of this problem; it provides a scientific decision analysis method for enterprise to make production plan and maintenance plan.

This paper presents an analytical, option-based cost model for an integrated production and preventive maintenance decision making with stochastic demand. The determination of preventive maintenance times and their schedule during a production period is converted to an option problem through maximizing the profit of the production per unit time. The optimal number of preventive maintenance actions is obtained and some further discussions on how the cost parameters affect the optimal results are also derived. The resulting option-based model is found to add flexibility to the production system and thus reduce the risk of shortage when the production system is faced with stochastic demand. A comparisons between the basic model (without option) and the option-based preventive maintenance model has shown that the option model is a more flexible under demand uncertainty and results in at least as much profit as the basic one.
