As an increasing number of manufacturers realize the importance of adopting new maintenance technologies to enable systems to achieve near-zero downtime, machinery prognostics which enables this paradigm shift from traditional fail-and-fix maintenance to a predict-and-prevent paradigm has arose interests from researchers. Machine's condition and degradation estimated by machinery prognostics approach can be used to support predictive maintenance policy. This paper develops a novel data-driven machine prognostics approach to assess machine's health condition and predict machine degradation. With this prognostics information, a predictive maintenance model is constructed to decide machine's maintenance threshold and predictive maintenance cycles number. Through a case study, this predictive maintenance model is verified, and the computational results show that this proposed model is efficient and practical.

Maintenance aims to reduce and eliminate the number of failures occurred during production as any breakdown of machine or equipment may lead to disruption for the supply chain. Maintenance policy is set to provide the guidance for selecting the most cost-effective maintenance approach and system to achieve operational safety. For example, predictive maintenance is most recommended for crucial components whose failure will cause severe function loss and safety risk. Recent utilization of big data and related techniques in predictive maintenance greatly improves the transparency for system health condition and boosts the speed and accuracy in the maintenance decision making. In this chapter, a Maintenance Policies Management framework under Big Data Platform is designed and the process of maintenance decision support system is simulated for a sensor-monitored semiconductor manufacturing plant. Artificial Intelligence is applied to classify the likely failure patterns and estimate the machine condition for the faulty component.

To order to raise chickens for meat, chicken farmers must select an appropriate breed and determine how many broilers to raise in each henhouse. This study proposes a mathematical programming model to develop a production planning and harvesting schedule for chicken farmers. The production planning comprises the number of batches of chickens to be raised in each henhouse, the number of chicks to be raised for each batch, what breed of chicken to raise, when to start raising and the duration of the raising period. The harvesting schedule focuses on when to harvest and how many broilers to harvest each time. Our aim was to develop proper production and harvesting schedules that enable chicken farmers to maximise profits over a planning period. The problem is a highly complicated one. We developed a hybrid heuristic approach to address the issue. The computational results have shown that the proposed model can help chicken farmers to deal with the problems of chicken-henhouse assignment, chicken raising and harvesting, and may thus contribute to increasing profits. A case study of a chicken farmer in Yunlin County (Taiwan) was carried out to illustrate the application of the proposed model. Sensitivity analysis was also conducted to explore the influence of parameter variations.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a soft computing model based on multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA), namely, modified micro genetic algorithm (MmGA) coupled with a decision tree (DT)-based classifier, in classifying and optimising the students’ online interaction activities as classifier of student achievement. Subsequently, the results are transformed into useful information that may help educator in designing better learning instructions geared towards higher student achievement. Design/methodology/approach A soft computing model based on MOEA is proposed. It is tested on benchmark data pertaining to student activities and achievement obtained from the University of California at Irvine machine learning repository. Additional, a real-world case study in a distance learning institution, namely, Wawasan Open University in Malaysia has been conducted. The case study involves a total of 46 courses collected over 24 consecutive weeks with students across the entire regions in Malaysia and worldwide. Findings The proposed model obtains high classification accuracy rates at reduced number of features used. These results are transformed into useful information for the educational institution in our case study in an effort to improve student achievement. Whether benchmark or real-world case study, the proposed model successfully reduced the number features used by at least 48 per cent while achieving higher classification accuracy. Originality/value A soft computing model based on MOEA, namely, MmGA coupled with a DT-based classifier, in handling educational data is proposed.

Over the years, mechatronic systems have witnessed an increase in complexity. To address this issue, a model-based approach has been utilized to produce coherent system specification. In model-based engineering, a system is depicted graphically and textually at various levels of granularity and complexity. For this purpose, Systems Modeling Language (SysML) is designed to support development stages in systems, including specification, analysis, design, and validation, and to generate specifications in a single language for use by heterogeneous development teams. Nevertheless, an underlying tool is lacking that would express the totality of a system’s processes and concepts, including mechanical, electrical, and informational aspects. SysML introduces a variety of diagrams and tools that are heterogeneous in notation and terms, e.g., use cases, blocks, activities, components, parameters, sequence, and so forth. This paper proposes a diagrammatic methodology to specify a unified conceptual map for mechatronic systems that can play the role of blueprint for a whole system at different stages of development. The paper focuses on using the proposed methodology as a specification tool, offering a new model that captures the dynamic behaviors of the system. The claim is that this proposed model for specification provides a nontechnical map of the system without a multiplicity of representations as in SysML. To demonstrate the viability of the model, it is applied to a case study of an airport baggage handling system.

Predictive maintenance has the potential to improve the reliability of production and service provisioning. However, there is little knowledge about the proper implementation of predictive maintenance in research and practice. Therefore, we conducted a multi-case study and investigated underlying conditions and technological aspects for implementing a predictive maintenance system and where it leads to. We found that predictive maintenance initiatives are triggered by severe impacts of failures on revenue and profit. Furthermore, successful predictive maintenance initiatives require that pre-conditions are fulfilled: Data must be available and accessible. Very important is also the support by the management. We identified four factors important for the implementation of predictive maintenance. The integration of data is highly facilitated by Cloud-based mechanisms. The detection of events is enabled by advanced analytics. The execution of predictive maintenance operations is supported by data-driven process automation and visualization.

This paper deals with an integrated production maintenance model where preventive maintenance (PM) activities are carried out at the end of each production run or at failure, whichever of them occurs first. PM activities take a fixed amount of time. However, due to the random nature of failures, the stock built during the production period may deplete before the next production run starts, leading to some loss in demand. After N production runs, the process is replaced (or undergoes a major repair), which brings it to the "as-good-as-new" condition. A mathematical model is derived for this problem and a model analysis conducted to characterize optimal solutions. Numerical examples are used to illustrate the proposed model and conduct a sensitivity analysis with respect to key model parameters.
