Operational Planning of Maintenance Measures by Means of Event-driven Simulation

Abstract

AbstractModern manufacturing systems are characterized by an increasing complexity and high dynamic. This leads to new challenges for the operational planning of maintenance and production. This paper introduces a novel approach to an online simulation which enables a cost-optimized integration of condition-based maintenance measures in the production plan. The dynamic approach is implemented by means of event-driven simulation. It enables to depict the actual state of a complex manufacturing system, to simulate the future development of the production and thereby to evaluate different planning alternatives of maintenance
