In this study, system maintenance and production scheduling are jointly decided to solve the problems of resource idleness and time cost increase due to system maintenance in the processing of production scheduling. Based on the previous research on the integration of scheduling and maintenance of single machine and multi machine, considering the deterioration and economic dependence of each component in the system, a joint strategy of multi component condition-based maintenance combined with production scheduling is formulated. All the maintenance combinations and probability calculation formulas in the production scheduling process are developed using the deterioration state space partition method, and the probability density function and its numerical solution method are derived. A joint decision model is established to minimize the total weighted expected completion time. Finally, taking the KS5 adjustable multi axis tapping machine as an example, numerical experiments were conducted to verify the correctness of the proposed strategy and the established model.

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.

A good diagnostic policy can not only shorten the detection time of faults but also improve the effectiveness of system maintenance. This paper presents a function-based diagnosis strategy that provides a helpful methodology for fault identification. The diagnosis trees of the systems are constructed based on a functional block diagram consisting of function elements (FEs) and test points (TPs). The correlations between the FEs and the TPs are first analysed according to system information flows. Two weighted indexes for fault detection and fault isolation are defined to determine the priority of these TPs in testing. Several parameters related to diagnostic ability are also introduced to provide an evaluated approach for system testability. The diagnostic steps and costs between traditional sequential testing and the function-based diagnosing are compared. The study results may be useful in planning diagnosis actions and testability design for a system. A hydraulic system is used as an example in order to depict the proposed methods.
