ABSTRACT
Nowadays, getting new markets depends on customer satisfaction. Quality is the most important factor in
customer satisfaction. Quality in production includes understanding the customer needs correctly, designing the
product according to the perceived needs, precisely designing the production process, and delivery time ac-
cording to the desired time of the customer. In order to produce according to the specied technical charac-
teristics, integrated maintenance and quality control planning are required. Also, for timely delivery of the
product, integrated production and maintenance planning are necessary. Therefore, production systems need
integrated optimization of production planning, maintenance and quality control to achieve quality goals that
lead to customer satisfaction. This paper provides a comprehensive literature review on the papers that optimize
decisions for either maintenance and quality or maintenance, quality, and production. Reviewed papers are
tabulated based on important and distinctive features. Also, the contribution of each paper is listed in the tables.
These tables facilitate the comparison of the work done in this area and will help the quick access of the reader to
his favourite eld. In writing review papers, this method of presentation can be a contribution. In the end, the
trend in research on integrated optimization of maintenance, quality and production has been determined, and
the gaps in this eld are presented for future research.
1. Introduction
Production planning, maintenance, and quality control are three
main tasks in manufacturing systems that, in the past, these were opti-
mized separately, while these three tasks interact mutually. Many re-
searchers believe that in the models that these three tasks are not
considered simultaneously, they are not globally optimal.
Production planning is the process of deciding on the resources an
organization needs for its future production operations. Production
planning is usually done at three levels: strategic level (long-term),
tactical level (aggregate production) and operational level (production
schedule). In the papers that focus on production planning, in general,
two main issues are considered. The rst issue determines the economic
production quantity (EPQ) and inventory level. The second issue is
scheduling and sequence of production operations, which assigns the
available production capacity and determines the sequence of produc-
tion operations and their start time. These two issues are included in
tactical and operational production planning, respectively.
Most production scheduling models assume that machines are al-
ways available; however, in real production environments, the machine
breaks down and may not be available at some time. It is not optimal to
carry out production planning on machines, regardless of deterioration
and break down of them. Maintenance includes all technical and
managerial activities during the life of the equipment, the purpose of
which is to maintain or restore the equipment so that it can provide the
expected task with the acceptable quality level. In maintenance plan-
ning, machine maintenance scheduling is done to prevent sudden
equipment failure. When the machine is not in good condition and needs
maintenance, the products are not favourable in terms of quality, and
the rate of production of the non-conformity products increases. When
an unplanned stop occurs due to a sudden machine breakdown, the
current production schedule is not performed, and customer orders are
delayed, and modifying the production schedule in an emergency usu-
ally imposes a high cost on the system. The maintenance will reduce
process variation and help increase product quality. The additional
maintenance will lead to increased costs, and delayed maintenance will
increase the process variability. Maintenance planning is the best bal-
ance between the cost of maintenance and quality-related costs.
The choice of a maintenance policy is limited by production sched-
uling decisions, quality control and inventory, so the specic interaction

of maintenance with production planning and quality control is novel. In
the short term, production scheduling seeks to assign operations and
their sequence without sudden equipment failure. In the long term,
aggregate planning seeks to offset demand if the equipment is stopped
by determining the optimal level of inventory. Preventive maintenance
planning may interfere with optimal delivery time. When a piece of
equipment is not in good production condition, the quality of the process
output is not acceptable in terms of quality control.
Quality control strives to achieve a level of quality that is compatible
with product features and process capability. The goal of a quality
control system is to ensure that the quality level is optimal so that the
costs of sampling error are minimized. The quality of a product can be
determined by a large number of characteristics. In quality control, some
key features must be conrmed that ensure the quality of the product.
Changing these characteristics within a specic limit indicates that the
quality of the product is good, and when it goes beyond these limits, the
production process becomes unacceptable. Quality control methods
include acceptance sampling, process control. Inspections can be per-
formed during (process control) or after the production process
(acceptance sampling).
There are two failure modes for the machine: One mode is that the
machine stops quickly and the other mode is that the machine is out of
control but has not stopped yet and production continues. In the second
stage, non-conformity products are produced until inspection shows that
the process is out of control. When a non-conformity product is pro-
duced, the cause is searched, which can be due to changes in raw ma-
terials, environmental factors, operators, and machine failure. If the
cause is a failure machine, the machine will be repaired. Therefore,
quality control is in direct interaction with maintenance and production
planning.
Therefore, the direct relationship between quality control, main-
tenanace, and production have led researchers to develop integrated
models of maintenance, quality and production in recent years.
Ben-Daya and Rahim (Ben-Daya and Rahim, 2001) provide a review
of the literature related to integrated production planning, quality
control and maintenance. They emphasize the need to present inte-
grated models. Pandey et al. (Pandey et al., 2010) review the papers on
integrated scheduling of production, repair, and quality. They are stated
that existing integrated approaches are more about either maintenance
and quality, or the production and maintenance, and there are no in-
tegrated models about scheduling of production, maintenance, and
quality.
Hadidi et al. (Hadidi et al., 2012) review models that integrate
different aspects of repair, quality, production, and inventory, they
divide the integration approach into two categories, the rst category is
the interrelated models that consider one of the three tasks of the pro-
duction system (production, maintenance, quality) as the objective and
other tasks as constraints, and the second category is integrated models
that optimize either two or three tasks of a system as the objective
simultaneously, and decision variables relate to all tasks (production,
maintenance and quality).
In the present paper, we review papers that optimize either quality
and maintenance decisions, or quality, maintenance, and production
decisions taking into account their interaction on each other during
production. With our knowledge, there is no review paper in this eld
since 2012.
The main contribution of the present paper is a comprehensive re-
view of published papers in the eld of optimization of maintenance and
quality, as well as maintenance, quality, and production by considering
the interaction of these three tasks on each other. The main features of
the papers are tabulated in such a way that access to the work done is
facilitated. The contribution of each paper is also listed in the tables. In
the review papers, this method of presentation can be a contribution.
The rst paper, which considered integrated repairs and quality de-
cisions, was published in 1988. So the present review includes papers
from 1998 to May 3, 2019, by searching keywords (statistical process
control and maintenance; control chart and maintenance; quality and
maintenance; acceptance sampling and maintenance; acceptance sam-
pling and repair; statistical process control and repair; control chart and
repair; quality and repair) from Scopus, Web of Science and Google
Scholar. The present paper has also listed the papers in which decision
variables only are related to one aspect of the three main tasks (quality,
maintenance, and production), and these decision variables are opti-
mized to the interaction of other tasks. The present paper reviews the
papers (Rahim and Banerjee, 1993; Rahim, 1994; Rahim and Ben-Daya,

Table 1 provides information on journals that have published papers
in the eld of optimization, either maintenance and quality, or main-
tenance, quality, and production. The Computers & Industrial Engi-
neering and the European Journal of Operational Research have
published the most number of papers in this eld. Table 1 lists the
journals that have published either three or more papers in this eld.
Concerning the year of publication, as can be seen in Fig. 1, the
number of papers published in the eld of integrated optimization has
increased in the years 20112019 with a steep slope. Thus, the tendency
to study the integrated optimization of either two main tasks (mainte-
nance and quality) or three main tasks (production, maintenance, and
quality) on the oor of the workshop has increased in recent years.
The integrated concepts presented in the papers are listed in Table 2,
which include the integrity of maintenance and the quality; integrity of
maintenance, the quality and the production; integrity of maintenance,
the quality, the production and the inventory; integrity of maintenance,
the quality, and the inventory. According to Table 2, 63% of the papers
are related to the integrated optimization of maintenance and quality,
and 31% are related to the integrated optimization of maintenance,
quality, and production.
The papers are generally divided into three categories: research, case
study, and review. Table 3 lists the review papers and the case study. As
can be seen in Table 3, 0.08% of papers are case studies, and 0.02% are
review papers.
The rest of the paper is presented as follows. Section 2 describes the
tabulation of the papers according to their distinctive features in quality,
maintenance, and production. Finally, in Section 3, the conclusion and
potential areas for future research are presented.
2. Description of the tabulation of papers
In this section, the important and distinctive features of the papers
are tabulated and compared. These papers optimize either decisions of
quality and maintenance or quality, maintenance, and production by
considering the interaction of these three tasks on each other so that the
reader can easily understand the research done in this area.
2.1. Tabulation based on quality policy
In quality control, the purpose is to maintain specic standards, di-
agnose, correct the process deviations, and evaluate the performance of
the production system. Statistical Quality Control (SQC) is a branch of
quality control that includes collecting, analyzing, and interpreting the
data for use in quality control activities. Statistical quality control is
divided into three main parts: Statistical Process Control (SPC), Design
of Experiments (DOE), and acceptance sampling. In acceptance sam-
pling, which is an inspection method, an appropriate plan is selected,
taking into account the balance between producer and consumer risk
and the cost of sampling. Accordingly, the decision is made to accept or
reject a stack. This approach is usually used after production.
Design of experiments is an active method, by deliberately and
purposefully modifying the levels of factors, their effects on the response

variable, measured and evaluated, and the optimal levels of inuencing
factors are determined. This approach is commonly used in process
design and pre-production.
Statistical process control is a statistical technique that is used to
reduce dispersion and, consequently, to improve quality. The tools of
this method include histogram (steam-and-leaf plot), check sheet, Pareto
chart, cause, and effect chart, scatter chart, defect concentration dia-
gram, and control chart. The rst six tools are mostly used in the process
design or to discover the cause of the failure. But the control charts are
used to detect the process variations during the production process.
The control charts are divided into three main classes, include the
Shewhart chart, the Cumulative Sum (CUSUM) chart, and the Expo-
nential Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) chart.
Each of these classes can be categorized using three important fea-
tures: either parametric or non-parametric (if the distribution of obser-
vations is assumed to be known (normal), then the control chart is
parametric; otherwise, the control chart is non-parametric), either uni-
variate or multivariate (if a single variable causes the process to be out of
control, the control chart is univariate, and if two or more variables
cause the process to be out of control, it is called a multivariate control
chart), either discrete (attribute) or continuous (variable) (if the quali-
tative characteristic is measurable, the control chart is continuous, and if
it is countable, the control chart is discrete).
The parametric control charts monitor the mean and/or standard
deviation of the process, while non-parametric control charts monitor
the shape (centre) and/or scale (dispersion) parameter of a process.
Shewhart control charts reveal the medium to large variations of the
process (
σ
1.5). The CUSUM chart and EWMA chart detect the small
variations of the process (
σ
1.5). The types of parametric control
charts can be considered in the setting of non-parametric charts.
The cost of quality is dened in two ways: the cost of obtaining good
quality, which is the cost of quality assurance, and the cost associated
with poor quality products, which is known as the cost of non-
conformity. The cost of quality assurance includes the cost of quality
planning, product design, training, information costs, inspection and
testing, the cost of equipment and inspection operators. Poor quality
costs refer to non-conformity costs. This cost is the difference between
the cost of producing a product or providing a service and the cost of a
defect. Defective costs include internal and external costs. Internal costs
are related to the production of poor-quality products before the product
reaches the customer. These costs include waste costs, rework, process
defect check, process stop, price reduction. External costs include the
cost of responding to the customer complaint, product return costs,
warranty acceptance costs, and lost sales costs.
The cost of a quality program includes the cost of prevention and the
cost of evaluation. Therefore, in general, the cost of quality is formulated
as follows:
The expected cost of quality assurance =Expected cost of inspection
(cost of stopping the process, inspection and restart) +Expected cost of
producing non-conformity products (cost of rejection, rework, waste
costs, increase the cost of repairs, cost of failure)
The cost of the inspection is calculated according to the number of
inspections in a period and the number of samples taken from the line.
As the number of inspections increases, the cost of inspection increases,
but the cost of producing non-conformity products decreases faster than
increasing inspection cost, and at one point, the cost of the inspection is
not compensated by reducing the cost of producing non-conformity
products. This point is the optimal number of inspections.
In acceptance sampling, the goal is to minimize the expected cost of
sampling errors (producer and consumer risk). Therefore, for the spec-
ied quality level with the determined risks, the decision to reject or
accept the shipment is made based on the sampling plan.
The production lines are sampled to ensure the quality of the prod-
ucts produced both during production and after production. The time for
sampling is one of the important characteristics that papers can be
categorized based on it. As can be seen in Table 4, in some papers, the
time is taken to sampling, but in some papers, to simplify the model, it is
ignored.
The quality control policies used in papers generally include control
charts and acceptance sampling. As described in the above, the control
charts used in reviewed papers are categorized according to important
features in Table 5. The quality control policy in some papers is based on
the loss function. The loss function is a function that calculates possible
deviations from the target value. The papers are listed in Table 6 based

on the type of quality control policy.
In recent years, the economic design of control charts with variable
parameters have been considered. As shown in Table 6, these charts
include Variable-parameter (VP) Shewhart (adaptive) control chart,
Adaptive chart, Adaptive synthetic X control chart and VPT2 Hotelling
control chart.
In real production systems, more than one cause usually causes the
process to be out of control, and these causes usually affect each other
and are not independent of each other. Another distinctive feature of
papers can be the number of causes that can be a single cause or several
causes. The papers are listed in Table 7 based on the number of causes.
Economic and economic-statistical schemes are two ways to design
control charts. The economic scheme ignores the statistical properties in
designing the control chart, whereas the economic-statistical scheme
considers the statistical properties in the control chart design. An
economic-statistical scheme usually designs more realistic control
charts. Papers are listed in Table 8 according to the type of design.
An important factor in using control charts is the parameter design of
control charts. The parameters of the control charts include sample size,
sampling interval, and control limit. These parameters can be xed or
variable. In the xed state, the parameters of the control charts are

constant in the sampling period, but in the variable state, each param-
eter can change according to a specic criterion (the time, the failure
rate). Variable parameters appear to be appropriate for processes whose
failure rate varies over time. Papers based on this feature are shown in
Table 9.
When the accuracy and precision of the process are appropriate, the
process is in control. The accuracy of the process is measured by the
mean process, and the precision is measured by the standard deviation.
The inaccuracy is due to the large changes that occur between the
samples taken, and the imprecision is due to the changes within each
sample. When the process is out of control, both/either the mean and/or
standard deviation of the process changes, according to this feature, the
papers are listed in Table 10.
The process starts in the in-control state, and after some time, it shifts
to an out-of-control state. In the out of control state, the process still
works, but the quality characteristic of the process is out of the control.
In the failure state, the process stops. The papers are tabulated according
to the number of out-of-control modes and the failure mode in Table 11.
In production processes, several out-of-control modes and failure mode
is closer to the reality of systems, but for simplifying the problem, some
modes are not considered in some papers.
The qualitative variables of the papers are presented in Tables 1214.
As can be seen in these tables, the parameters of the control chart (the
sample size, the control limit, the sampling interval) are the most vari-
ables in the papers in the quality policy.

equipment, wear out and deteriorate when performing tasks. A machine

machine to stop or produce a number of defective units. The goal of an
effective maintenance policy is to keep the equipment in optimal oper-
ating condition and ensure reliable performance.
There are two general policies in maintenance planning: corrective
maintenance (repair after the failure of the machine), preventive
maintenance (repair before the failure of the machine). In the corrective
maintenance, the machine continues to operate until it breaks down,
and then the repairs are done. In preventive maintenance, the condition
of the machine before failure is assessed using a criterion (time, usage,
condition, or alarm) and if needed, it will be repaired.
In maintenance planning, the goal is usually to minimize costs and
the objective function is usually dened as follows:
Minimize (total maintenance cost in the time) =Inspection cost +
Number of preventive maintenances * Average cost +The average
number of failures * Average cost +Cost of stopping production
(duration of failure or preventive maintenance if production needs to be
stopped).
The inputs of this function are statistical distribution of equipment
failure and repair times, inspection and repair costs and lost production
costs, and the limitations of this function are the aggregate production
plan, available resources and acceptable quality level. The output of this
objective function is an inspection schedule and preventive maintenance
and repair in the event of a breakdown.
If preventive maintenance is not performed, the total cost of repairs
will be at the time of equipment failure (which will usually be a high
cost), but if preventive maintenance is done, as the number of preventive
maintenance increases, the cost of preventive maintenance will increase,
but the cost of failure will decrease faster than increasing preventive
maintenance cost, and at one point, the cost of preventive maintenance
is not offset by the reduction in breakdown costs. This point is the
optimal number of preventive maintenances. Therefore, preventive
maintenance is used to reduce the frequency of failures.
The production line stops when the machine breaks down or some-
times during preventive maintenance. The duration of the stop affects
the cost of maintenance. The papers have tried to get closer to the reality
of production environments by considering the time for repairs. The
time for maintenance is one of the important characteristics that papers
can be categorized based on it. As can be seen in Table 15, in some

papers, the time is considered to perform maintenance, but in some
papers, it is ignored.
In the maintenance planning, the best and most effective mainte-
nance techniques for each equipment are determined. The goal is to
achieve the desired reliability at the lowest possible cost. In the past, it
was believed that equipment would wear out over time, so preventive
maintenance would be carried out based on time and usage, but research
shows that equipment failure is not linearly related to its lifespan. So, in
recent years, to reduce costs, often condition monitoring is done.
Table 16 shows the type of maintenance in the papers. It should be noted
that to maintain the authenticity of the words of the papers, the same
title mentioned for repairs in the paper is given in the tables. In the
following, each type is described.
Preventive Maintenance (PM) is done before the equipment breaks
down to avoid the high costs of machine failure, stop production, and
the production of non-conformity products. Determining the condition
of a machine for maintenance may be optical or require special equip-
ment testing. The breakdown status of a piece of equipment may or may
not have any symptoms. Therefore, there is no need for preventive
maintenance for equipment that does not show signs of failure. In this
equipment, the distribution of the probability of failure is dened. PM
includes Time-based Maintenance (TBM), Aged-Based Maintenance
(ABM), Quality-Based Maintenance (QBM), Usage-Based Maintenance
(UBM), Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM), Predictive Maintenance
and Detective Maintenance. Alarms used for preventive maintenance are
either based on monitoring equipment conditions or based on machine
output (control charts). PM usually performs when the correct alarm is
received from the machine, and the maintenance returns the process to
the in-control state. PM can be turned the process into either the as good
as a new state or a state between the previous state and the as good as a
new state (better than the state before the repairs). If the correct alarms
are not obtained from the system, at the end of the planning period,
Planned Maintenance performs, which usually turns the process into the
as good as new state.
When a false alarm is received from the machine, Compensation
Maintenance performs. Reactive Maintenance performs when the cor-
rect alarms are received from the machine. Selective maintenance is
doing in such a way that a subset of operations for repairs should be
select at the same time, which is usually appropriate when there is either
a resource constraint or time constraint or budget. In condition-based
maintenance (CBM), repairs perform after receiving signals of the ma-
chine. In condition-based maintenance, the monitoring of the conditions
for repairs is similar to the quality control charts. Aged-based mainte-
nance is doing based on the age of the equipment. When the machine is
stopped by a breakdown, Corrective Maintenance (CM) is performed.
In the repair, the process can be turned into the as good as new state
or become a state between the previous state and the as good as new
state (better than the state before the maintenance). In the Restoration,

the as good as new state.
In using the control chart, if the stoppage is due to a single obser-
vation out of the control limits, corrective maintenance of type A per-
forms, and if the stoppage is due to a sequence of several observations
between the warning and control limits, corrective maintenance of type
B performs. The repairs of A and B are imperfect with measurable per-
formances. By the Block Replacement with Minimal Repair, a
manufacturing system component is replaced based on two occurrences:
either the failure of the component or preset block replacement times (if
the age of the manufacturing system component is no less than a
threshold value), Otherwise, a minimal repair will be taken to restore
the manufacturing system component.
The Minimal Maintenance, the Minimal Corrective, and the Imper-
fect Preventive are imperfect (the state between as-good-as-new state
and previous state). The Delayed Maintenance policy allows a delay time

for the detection and maintenance after an alarm. In the Time-based
Preventive Replacement policy, repairs are doing at specied times.
The Autonomous Maintenance which continuously and automatically
improves the process and prevents breakdowns and defects.
In general, the types of maintenances mentioned above are divided
into two categories: repairs before the failure or alarm and repairs after
the failure or alarm, according to Table 17.
After the repair, the equipment turns into either the as-good-as-new
state, or the state between as-good-as-new state and previous state
(better than the previous state). The rst is called perfect repair and the
second is imperfect repair. Papers based on the result of repair can be
divided into two categories, perfect or imperfect, which are listed in
Table 18.
Optimal equipment conditions deteriorate over time. The pattern of
failure of machines and the process of deterioration should be studied.
The deteriorating process of machines is listed in Tables 19 and 20. More
equipment failure patterns can be considered according to Markovs
process, in which the state of the machine at any given moment depends
only on its current state. Markov chain is a discrete-time stochastic
process in which the future status of a system depends only on the
current state of the system. However, in a continuous-time Markov
chain, the time of each state is exponentially distributed. In each Markov
chain, if the probability of transition from a state to another state is
independent of time (or stage), then the Markov chain will be homo-
geneous. In the semi-Markov chains, the probability of a change in status
depends on the amount of time that has elapsed since the entry into the
current state. In the partially observable Markov Decision, the states are
only partially observable. The observations of the state cannot accu-
rately determine the state of the system.

In a shock model, a system is subjected to random shocks in the in-
control state. These shocks cause damage to the system. The amount
of damage is a random variable. The delay time divides the failure
process into two stages: the rst step from the new state to the out of
control state and the second step from the out of control state to the
failure state. The second step is called the failure delay time. In the
Geometric process, the mean lifetime sequence of a system decreases
geometrically as the number of repairs increases. The Gamma process
assumes that shocks follow a gamma distribution. The failure rate is the
number of times a system or a component fails per unit of time. This rate
can be either xed or increasing over time.
The length of time it takes for a machine to break down follows a

distribution function, which depends on the working machine charac-
teristics, the manufacturing process, how the parts are combined, and
other characteristics. The lifespan of the equipment can be calculated
using these functions, and therefore the probability of failure in a period
is determined.
The in-control time follows a distribution with either an increasing
failure rate or a xed failure rate. The types of distributions presented in
papers are listed in Table 21. The exponential distribution is a memo-
ryless distribution and is a suitable distribution for the in-control time.
In this distribution, the probability of machine failure at any time
regardless of the duration of the time it has worked is calculated. In
equipment that the main causes of failure are accidental, this distribu-
tion is appropriate. The negative exponential distribution is suitable for
equipment where the failure of a part causes the whole device to fail. If
the failure rate increases with the lifespan of a piece of equipment, the
distribution of the Weibull is appropriate for the in-control time distri-
bution. In this distribution, the failure of a system is due to the most
signicant failure between multiple failures. When the equipment con-
sists of several components and the time to failure of each component
follows the exponential distribution, the time to equipment failure is
considered as the gamma distribution.
The variables related to repairs are listed in Tables 22 and 23. As can
be seen in the tables, the preventive maintenance interval and the
optimal repair threshold have the most repetitions in the papers.
2.3. Tabulation based on production policy
The most obvious issue in preparing a production plan is determining
the length of the planning horizon. Production programs are divided
into short-term, medium-term and long-term plans based on the length
of the planning horizon. Typically, a long-term plan is considered to be
ve years or more, which is the minimum time to change the available
capacity. For a 124-month planning horizon, medium-term production
plans are prepared within the framework of long-term plans. In this type

of planning, it is assumed that the capacity is constant. A medium-term
plan is prepared based on an annual forecast and available production
resources (labour, inventory, current production costs, suppliers and
collateral contract).
Production scheduling for short periods of less than a month provides
short-term programs. It assigns orders to individuals, and machines also
determine the sequence of tasks. In the integrated optimization models
presented in the papers, considering the production decisions, the pro-
duction schedule is considered. Production scheduling decisions require
sufcient attention to the interactions between the scheduling system
and other decision-making systems such as forecasting, aggregation
planning, inventory control, quality control, and maintenance planning.
The goal of scheduling is to achieve the customers delivery date, reduce
completion time, reduce delay delivery, reduce response time, reduce
system time, reduce overtime, increase manpower efciency and ma-
chine efciency, reduce machine idle time and reduce work-in-process
inventory. The output of the production schedule is the assignment of
jobs to production resources and the determination of their sequence in
each resource. Production scheduling constraints include capacity con-
straints, aggregate plan decisions for inventory, labour force, over time,
maintenance, availability, and work-in-process inventory.
Production scheduling variables include the exact size of the daily
workforce, production rate in regular time and overtime and activity
lower than normal, assignment of orders to resources (labour, ma-
chines), prioritizing jobs on resources.
The general production scheduling formula, which is one of the NP-
Hard problems, is as follows:

The types of manufacturing systems in the papers include a single
machine (a production process), two-machine, the multi-machine that
are presented in Table 24.
In mass production, the production schedule tries to balance the
production line by grouping the production activities into stations. In
the lean and agile production, production scheduling determines prod-
uct type, production lot size, and assignment sequence.
The variables related to production in the papers are presented in
Table 25. As can be seen in the tables, the most repetitions are related to
the lot size and production quantity, respectively.
2.4. Tabulation based on the objective function and solving approach
Revenue is the most important goal of any production system, and
this goal is achieved by minimizing production costs. Therefore, in
planning the three main tasks of the workshop oor (production, repair
and quality), the objective function is dened based on the protability
of the system by minimizing costs, maximizing prots, and determining
optimal policies. Papers are listed in Table 26, based on the objective

function. As can be seen in the table, the objective function of most
papers is minimizing the expected cost per unit time.
Optimization problems include linear and nonlinear problems with
continuous and discrete variables. Combinational optimization is the
search for the optimal point of functions with discrete variables. The
scheduling problems are combinational optimization. These problems
are NP-hard. Optimization problems solving methods are generally
divided into four categories: enumerative methods, computational
methods, heuristic and meta-heuristic methods.
In enumerative methods, only one point belonging to the domain
space of the objective function is examined in each iteration. These
methods are easier to implement than other methods, but they require
signicant calculations. In these methods, there is no mechanism to
reduce the search domain, and the search space with this method is very
large.
Most optimization computational methods use objective function
gradients to guide search. The presence or absence of optimization
constraints plays a key role in these methods. For this reason, these

. The main contributions.
(Rahim and Banerjee,
1993)
The work of Banerjee and Rahim (Banerjee and Rahim,
1988) has been developed in such a way that a general
distribution is assumed for in-control periods with an
increasing failure rate (non-Markovian shock model) and
the possibility of age-dependent repair before failure is
considered.
(Rahim, 1994) This paper generalizes the model in Lee and Rosenblatt (
Lee and Rosenblatt, 1987), and Banerjee and Rahim (
Banerjee and Rahim, 1988). An integrated model is
developed for both the inventory and quality control for a
class of deteriorating processes where the in-control
period follows a probability distribution with an
increasing failure rate.
(Rahim and Ben-Daya,
1998)
This model generalizes Rahim (Rahim, 1994) s model to
cases where production ceases not only for a true alarm
but also for a false alarm.
(Chiu and Huang, 1995) The relationship between control charts X and S2and
preventive maintenance is discussed.
(Chiu and Huang, 1996) In this paper, Banerjee and Rahim (Banerjee and Rahim,
1988) s model taking into account the preventive
maintenance policy, is optimized, and the results with
the results of Banerjee and Rahim (Banerjee and Rahim,
1988) are compared.
(Ben-Daya, 1999) An integrated model for the joint optimization of the
economic production quantity, the economic design of
x-control chart and the optimal maintenance level are
developed for the rst time.
(Ben-Daya and Rahim,
2000)
A model for the joint optimization of maintenance level
and the economic design of x-control chart is presented,
in the proposed model, the preventive maintenance
changes the shift rate of the equipment to the out-of-
control state by an amount proportional to the preventive
maintenance level.
(Cassady et al., 2000) A strategy is dened for monitoring and controlling a
manufacturing process through the simultaneous
implementation of a statistical process control chart and
a preventive policy; This research has utilized the X chart
and modied age-replacement preventive maintenance
policy simultaneously to improve the performance of a
manufacturing process.
(Rahim and Ben-Daya,
2001)
A generalized integrated model is developed to
determine optimal production quantity, inspection
schedules, and control chart design parameters, where
both product and process are subject to deterioration.
(Linderman et al., 2005) An integrated approach for both maintenance and
process control is provided, Adaptive maintenance is
considered, and Planned maintenance is doing at regular
intervals to prevent breakdowns when the process
instability is determined by the SPC, adaptive
maintenance performs.
(Wang and Sheu, 2003) The effects of the general time to shift distributions, two
types of process inspection errors, and general repair
policy on the optimal production/inspection/
maintenance policy are considered.
(Kuo, 2006) An integrated model for both maintenance and product
quality control is presented in a discrete-time Markovian
process, both scheduling of the sampling and the sample
size are directly included in the action space of dynamic
programming model, the system is formulated as a
partially observable Markov decision process.
(Makis and Fung, 1995) The problem of the joint determination of the lot size,
inspection interval, and preventive replacement time is
considered for a production facility subject to random
failure.
(Ben-Daya and
Makhdoum, 1998)
The integrated model is developed for the joint
determination of Economic Production Quantity (EPQ),
preventive maintenance level, and the economic design
parameters of the control chart. This paper explores the
alternatives of the maintenance policies; a Weibull model
is used to illustrate the PM policies and to investigate
their effect on the EPQ and quality control costs.
(Lee and Rahim, 2001) The effect of both age-dependent maintenance cost and a
salvage value of the equipment has been studied on the
economic design of the X control chart.

methods are divided into two categories: constrained and
unconstrained.
Unconstrained optimization methods, depending on the number of
variables, including optimizing one-variable and multi-variable func-
tions. The optimization methods of one-variable functions are divided
into three categories: zero-order, rst-order, and second-order methods.
Zero-order methods only require the calculation of the objective func-
tion at different points; However, rst-order methods use the objective
function and its derivative, and second-order methods use the objective
function and its rst and second derivatives. In optimizing multivariate
functions that are widely used in engineering, minimizing or maxi-
mizing a quantity is done with a large amount of design variable.
Constrained optimization methods are divided into three categories:
linear programming, direct and indirect methods. Linear programming
problems in which objective functions and constraints are linear. Linear
programming is a branch of mathematical programming. In the direct
methods, the optimal point is searched directly, and unconstrained
optimization methods are not used. In indirect methods, unconstrained
optimization algorithms are used to solve generalized optimization
problems with constraints.
One way to solve combinational optimization problems is to consider
all possible answers and calculate the objective functions related to it,
and nally, choose the best answer. It is clear that this approach ulti-
mately leads to the exact answer to the problem. But in practice, due to a
large number of possible answers, it is impossible to use it.
Due to the problems related to the complete counting method, it has
always been emphasized to create more effective and efcient methods.
In this context, various algorithms have emerged, the most famous of
which is the Simplex method for solving linear programming and Branch
and Bound method for solving linear programming with integer vari-
ables. For large-scale problems, the Simplex method works very well,
but the branch and Bound method lose its efciency and does not
perform better than the full count. For the above reasons, there has
recently been a greater focus on heuristic or metaheuristic methods or
random search.
Heuristic search methods are methods that can provide a good
answer (close to optimal) at a logical time for a problem. Heuristic
search methods are mainly based on enumerative methods, except that
they use additional information to guide the search.
Heuristic algorithms are designed for a specic problem. Therefore,
these algorithms cannot be used to solve various problems. But meta-
heuristic algorithms are quite general in terms of application and can
solve very complex problems. Most of these methods are accidental and
inspired by nature.
Simulation is used when the problem is very complex or has so many
variables that mathematical modelling cannot be used. In the simula-
tion, using the systems past behaviours, its behavioural distribution is
obtained using statistical science, and the model is adjusted based on
past behaviour. Papers, according to the solution approach, are listed in
Table 27.

. (continued) The main contributions.
(Wu and Makis, 2008) A multivariate SPC chart for CBM is considered in both
economic and economic-statistics design.
(Radhoui et al., 2009) The maintenance performs when the rate of non-
conforming items generated is higher than the specied
threshold.
(Lin et al., 2011) An integrated model of production lot-sizing,
maintenance, and quality are developed considering the
possibilities of inspection errors, preventive
maintenance (PM) errors, and minimal repairs for an
imperfect production system with increasing hazard
rates.
(Wu and Wang, 2011) The cost model is formulated for a three-state system
monitored by an adaptive control chart with variable
parameters and a control chart with static parameters.
(Wang, 2011) Optimization of maintenance using the np control chart
is done, and the concepts of minor and major repairs are
introduced, the type of machine deterioration process is
Geometric process.
(Mehrafrooz and
Noorossana, 2011)
This paper combines PM with an adaptive SPC; the
assumptions of this model are similar to the model
Panagiotidu and Nenes (Panagiotidou and Nenes,
2009), except that this model incorporates planned
maintenance.
(Ho and Quinino, 2012) An integrated economic model is proposed by
incorporating the following two dimensions. On-line
process control and a corrective maintenance program,
this paper considers the variable inspection interval and
perfect maintenance.
(Wang, 2012) A Markovian process is not used to model a three-stage
system. Instead, a two-stage failure process with
arbitrary random sojourn times in each stage is used,
two monitoring policy are considered including age-
based monitoring policy and block-based monitoring
policy.
(Kim and Makis, 2012) The model is a generalization of a recent model
considered by Makis (Makis, 2008 Apr), failure is
considered in this paper, a partially observable
deteriorating system subject to random failure is
modelled, the process state follows an unobservable
continuous time-homogeneous Markov chain.
(Chen, 2013) The features of imperfect rework and PM errors into an
EPQ framework are integrated
(Xiang, 2013) An integrated model is developed for a production
process that deteriorates according to a discrete-time
Markov chain; the PM restores the production
equipment to any state between the current state and
the as-good-as-new state, and the CM is perfect at more
cost.
(Liu et al., 2013) The economic and economic-statistical designs of a X
control chart for two-identical unit series systems with
condition-based maintenance is studied.
(Zhong et al., 2016) A supply chain system is considered as a maintainable
system, and a cost model has constructed for the
integration of the likelihood rate control chart and
perform maintenance in the supply chain.
(Yin et al., 2015) The assumption of the failure mechanism from
traditional quality shift to a combination of quality shift
and equipment failure is extended, an integrated model
of SPC and maintenance when designing the MEWMA
control chart is considered.
(Yin et al., 2015) An integrated model of SPC and maintenance decisions
by considering the delayed monitoring policy is
presented.
(Lu et al., 2016) A joint model of PM and quality is considered for a
deteriorating single-machine manufacturing system,
process variables affecting product quality are
identied, a process model is developed to
quantitatively describe the impact of process variables
on product quality and an integrated reliability model is
built for the machine based on the proportional hazard
model (PHM) considering effects of the degradation
states of quality-related components on machine
reliability, the quality loss is measured by Taguchi loss
function, a PM policy is designed, in which imperfect

The main contributions of the papers are presented in Tables 2835.
These tables easily show the progress of the work done in this area.
3. Conclusion and potential areas for future research
In this paper, a comprehensive review has been done on the papers
that optimize the decisions of either quality and maintenance or quality,
maintenance, and production, taking into account their interaction with
each other. This review includes the papers from 1998 to May 3, 2019.
In present paper are also listed papers in which decision variables only
are related to one aspect of the three main tasks (quality, maintenance,
and production), and these decision variables are optimized by the
interaction of other tasks. With our knowledge, there is no review paper
in this eld since 2012. The main contribution of this paper is to tabulate
the important features of papers in three elds of quality, repair, and
production. These tables facilitate quick access to the work done in this
area. Also, according to the analysis presented, research trends in this
area have been determined. Research gaps and areas that need further
research have been identied for future research.
Fig. 2 provides an overview of quality, repair, and production pol-
icies in the papers. In this diagram, the most frequently considered
features in the papers are listed. The percentages of these features are
shown in Fig. 2.
According to Fig. 2, it can be seen that the most tendency of papers in
quality policy is as follows: ignoring the sampling duration, applying X
control chart and acceptance sampling for quality control respectively, a
single cause for being out of control, Economic/Statistical design for
determining parameters of control chart, xed parameters for the con-
trol charts, deviation of the process mean when the system is out of
control, the process modes are either an in-control mode, an out-of-
control mode and a failure mode or an in-control mode and an out
control mode. In the production eld, 83% of papers consider a single
machine production system.
In the eld of repairs, the tendency of papers includes the following:
the duration of the repairs has not been ignored, the type of repairs is
either preventive or corrective maintenance respectively, the result of
the repair is perfect, the process of machine deterioration has an
increasing failure rate, the time-to-failure distribution is either the
exponential or the Weibull distribution, respectively.
The objective function in 83% of papers is to minimize the expected
cost per time unit. The approach of solving in 61% of papers is the search
method.
Based on the analysis performed and the trends of the papers, many
contributions can be made in this eld, and there are many research
gaps in this area, several recommendations for future research are pre-
sented in the following:
It is recommended to present the integrated optimization models
with other decisions, including demand, routing, and priorities of
machines for production and maintenance.

In recent years manufacturing system decisions have been optimized
in the form of supply chains. Optimizing integrated production,
repair, and quality decisions in the multi-layer supply chain can be
done in future research.
The constraints should be considered in the integrated optimization
models, which include repair resources, warehouse space, buffer
capacity, raw materials, delivery time.
In the manufacturing systems such as ow shop and job shop, no
paper optimizes the decisions of quality and repairs or the decisions
of quality, repairs, and production simultaneously, that it can be
done in the future research.
The real environments of production are always subject to uncer-
tainty in maintenance, quality, and production. Stochastic, fuzzy,
and robust optimization can be used in the integrated optimization
models.
In most papers, numerical examples are made using theoretical data.
Case study papers could be presented to determine the applicability
of models in different elds.
Many control charts assume that the underlying form of the process
distributions is known. In real environments and in practice, the
specied distribution may be inaccurate, whereby parametric con-
trol charts work poorly and unreliably. In this case, non-parametric
control charts (without distribution) can work well, so the use of
non-parametric control charts in integrated optimization models is
recommended.
In some production processes, small and large variations need to be
controlled simultaneously. New hybrid charts must be designed
using the combination of Shewharts control charts and small
variations-sensitive control charts for these processes.
When several quality characteristics in a process need to be
controlled, and some of these characteristics affect another, some of
which are variable quality characteristics and some attribute quality
characteristics, it is recommended to design a new hybrid control
chart to control the quality characteristics with these features.
In none of the integrated papers, human resource planning is not
considered to interact with the planning of production, quality, and
repairs. It is recommended to present this model for future research.
Customer satisfaction is the most important goal of production.
Customers are the only source of return on capital. Therefore, it
should be considered in the objective function. Integrated Optimi-
zation of quality, repair, and production decisions by considering the
cost (prot) and without considering customer satisfaction is not a
global optimization.

In order to reduce production costs, dispersed production
geographically, and agile production philosophy, it is suggested that
in integrated optimization models, the production systems with
rework, the multi-period multi-product manufacturing systems,
geographically dispersed production systems be considered.
The solution approach is heavily skewed toward the numerical
search approach. It is recommended to use a decomposition algo-
rithm and hybrid techniques that are suitable for solving large
problems. The integrated optimization problems are linked with
scheduling problems. So, optimization problems are NP-hard. It is
impossible to optimize them using exact methods for problems with
larger dimensions; the computational time needed to solve these
problems is not acceptable. Meta-heuristic algorithms can be used to
solve them. Meta-heuristic algorithms can obtain near-optimal so-
lutions at an acceptable time. As seen in the review of solving
methods, the Genetic algorithm, the Tabu Search algorithm, the
Simulated Annealing algorithm, and the Particle Swarm Optimiza-
tion algorithm have been used to solve these problems. It is recom-
mended to use the other Meta-heuristic algorithms, which have good
results in the eld of combination problems and hybrid Meta-
heuristic algorithms.
In some production processes, considering the same distribution for
the in-control time in all production cycles may be far from the re-
ality of production. Considering different distributions in different
cycles can be done in future research
In many papers, the quality of the solution method is not compared
to others. This comparison could be useful to get a better grasp of the
quality of the solution approach and evaluation and validation of the
proposed model.
Green production is a new tendency in production systems to elim-
inate different production wastes in terms of environmental issues. In
spite of the importance of green production, in none of the reviewed
papers have been seen.
Integrated production, repair, and quality decisions can be optimized
with objective function based on lean production (waste reduction).
For closer to the reality of the system deterioration process, it is
recommended to consider hybrid deterioration processes (the
integrity of the shock model, the delay time, and the geometric
process).

... In parallel, maintenance is also an important activity in production systems, since it keeps the production assets in operable condition, influencing the system's performance and production quality. Even though the planning of operations and maintenance is commonly made separately, the literature [8][9][10] has demonstrated the advantages of integrating both plans since they must allocate jobs to the same resources, directly interfering with each other. Different frameworks and models have been developed [11][12][13] to better plan the maintenance and the integration of production systems parameters to reduce cost per produced unit and optimize production systems. ...
... The literature in the last two decades has shown the importance of planning both production and maintenance jointly [35][36][37], especially due to enhanced manufacturing performance when compared to separate plans [38]. Besides production and maintenance planning, the integration may include other aspects such as quality control [8] and spare parts management. Most works aim to optimize the fixed interval between maintenance jobs in a periodic maintenance policy [39]. ...

Digital manufacturing systems allow for dynamic production and maintenance planning adaptation based on internal and external evolving changes. In this context, data-driven predictive techniques can improve maintenance planning. However, dynamic production environments require the development of novel methods capable of efficiently managing the extensive data generated by manufacturing systems and processes while providing valuable insights for decision-making. Thus, this research proposes an integrated production and maintenance planning (IPMP) approach for digital manufacturing systems featuring a dynamic simulation-based optimization and a meta-learning-based failure prediction, which selects the best prognostic method to predict machine failures in real-time. The proposed model was applied to the Minifab case, in the semiconductor industry, providing a reduction of 20.9 % in lead time and 25.9 % in tardy jobs compared to setups with static dispatching rules and single-prognostic-method failure prediction. Such findings support the pertinence of the proposed novel approach in the area of production planning and control, contributing to the improvement of business performance, reliability, and competitiveness.
... In recent years, integrating the triple components, including SPC, MP, and EPQ, has led to favourable results for the entire production system [38]. Salmasnia, Jafarian-Namin, and Abdzadeh [39] proposed a RESD approach for an integrated model under multiple assignable causes and independence of data and used particle swarm optimization (PSO) to solve it. ...
... The results obtained from these estimates and predictions are crucial for optimizing maintenance planning and high-level policy making [5]. Various studies, including [6,7], have proposed methodologies for optimizing maintenance planning based on SoH estimation for systems with different topologies. ...

Controlling machine degradation enhances the accuracy of the remaining-useful-life estimation and offers the ability to control failure type and time. In order to achieve optimal degradation control, the system controller must be cognizant of the consequences of its actions by considering the degradation each action imposes on the system. This article presents a method for designing cost-aware controllers for linear systems, to increase system reliability and availability through degradation control. The proposed framework enables learning independent of the system's physical structure and working conditions, enabling controllers to choose actions that reduce system degradation while increasing system lifetime. To this end, the cost of each controller's action is calculated based on its effect on the state of health. A mathematical structure is proposed, to incorporate these costs into the cost function of the linear-quadratic controller, allowing for optimal feedback for degradation control. A simulation validates the proposed method, demonstrating that the optimal-control method based on the proposed cost function outperforms the linear-quadratic regulator in several ways.
... The relationships among the triple RESEARCH PAPER components have motivated scholars to study the integrated models more than before. Recently, Farahani and Tohidi [6] reviewed the literature on integrated optimization. Their results indicate that 63% of the researches are related to the integration of SPC and MP, and 31% is related to the integration of triple components. ...

It has recently been proven that integrating statistical process control (SPC), maintenance policy (MP), and production could bring benefits for the entire production system. In the literature of integrated triple-component models, independent observations have generally been studied. The existence of correlated structures in practice put the traditional control charts in trouble. The mixed EWMA-CUSUM (MEC) chart has been developed as an effective tool of SPC for monitoring only the autoregressive (AR) processes. Nevertheless, it has not been extended for moving average (MA) and ARMA processes. Besides, MEC has been designed only based on statistical measures. However, in an imperfect production system, the decision variables of MEC together with the other components should be determined according to the resulting costs and satisfaction of some criteria. This paper proposes an integrated triple-component model by applying the MEC chart for monitoring various autocorrelated processes. Due to the complexity of the model, a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is employed to reach optimal solutions. The applicability of the model is investigated via an industrial example. The effects of model parameters on the solutions are studied through a sensitivity analysis. Moreover, extensive comparisons and a real data set are provided for more investigations.

Integrating the three crucial functions of quality control, economic production quantity (EPQ) and maintenance leads to cost savings and increased efficiency for manufacturing processes. While in the literature, they have typically been studied separately. Moreover, most of the existing integration models are designed for the discrete piece-part manufacturing environment. This study, nevertheless, focuses wholly on continuous flow manufacturing (CFM), which is distinctly different from piece-part manufacturing, as the sampling unit is described in light of laboratory requirements instead of the production unit. Based on this fact, this paper proposes an integrated EPQ scheme jointly designed with control-chart design and maintenance planning for the CFM process. A developed genetic algorithm is employed to minimize the expected total production cost under constraints on the economic-statistical quality. Of the costs considered, quality-related costs are quantified via an approximate formula derived from the quality loss curve depending on Taguchi’s quality loss function. A sensitivity analysis is performed on the expected total production cost and variations in the chosen system parameter values to offer insights into the issue. Finally, a comparative investigation of the suggested model and two similar models that contributed to this field is conducted.

Manufacturing costs are reduced significantly with the integrated optimization of preventive maintenance and quality control. In this paper, a new mixed integer non-linear programming model is presented. This model determines the optimal preventive maintenance interval and the optimal parameters of the () control chart, including the sampling interval and the sample size and the control limit. The production system is considered in the form of a continuous time Markov chain. Formulation of the production process of a machine in the form of a continuous time Markov chain is a breakthrough in the integrated modeling of repair and quality. The goal is to reduce costs per unit time. It is assumed that preventive maintenance can be carried out at several levels either perfect or imperfect. The duration of corrective and preventive maintenance is not negligible. Considering the length of time for maintenance, this model is closer to the real production environment. A numerical example is used to illustrate this new model. Sensitivity analysis was performed to determine the effect of the model parameters on optimal decisions. This analysis further shows the relationship between preventive maintenance and statistical quality control as well as the performance of the new model.

The objective of this paper is to develop an integrated approach for the joint control of production, maintenance and quality for batch manufacturing systems. We consider such systems that are subject to degradation which is at the origin of the production of defective units. The quality control of lots produced is performed using an ‘x-bar’ control chart. This graphical tool will allow estimating the quality of the batch being produced and possibly undertake perfect preventive or corrective maintenance actions on the production system. A buffer stock is built to maintain continuity of supply during maintenance actions. The incurred total cost includes setup cost, inventory costs, the cost of unused products, maintenance costs and quality costs. Decision variables include the buffer stock size, the sample size, the sampling interval, the surveillance and the control limits of the control chart. Numerical experiments and sensitivity analyses are provided to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed control policy and the robustness of the solving approach.

In the modern industrial age, regular system maintenance is an integral process because systems, both engineering and nonengineering, deteriorate over time. Statistical process monitoring techniques, especially control charts, are very helpful in monitoring the performance of such systems and consequently help in decision making on whether maintenance is advantageous or the system has reached a phase where no further maintenance is useful. The aim of this article is to introduce an approach that would integrate maintenance decisions with statistical quality monitoring techniques by assuming an exponentiated class of distributions of interarrival times of the renewal process. This article includes generalized exponential, generalized Rayleigh, and exponentiated Pareto distributions as special cases. An extensive simulation study to compute average run length and average length of inspection (or average time to signal) is conducted, and a comparison is given with approximated exponential control charts. The effect of cost for the regularly maintained generalized exponential systems is also discussed in this study. We focus on the generalized exponential distribution because of its practical relevance in reliability and closeness to Weibull distribution. Finally, an illustrative example is also a part of this article.

The performance of a DC-excited transverse-flow CO2 laser welder can be adversely affected by many factors such as electrode arcing, optical contamination, poor maintenance, etc. Many of these factors which occur in the production environments are unpredictable and therefore difficult to simulate in the laboratory or the laser manufacturer’s facilities. In this paper, the feasibility of using statistical control charts for laser condition monitoring was demonstrated. In particular, its application for predictive maintenance for the cathode and for verification of the effectiveness of cathode cleaning were investigated. The same approach is readily applicable to other laser components. With more experimental data, optimal control limits can be defined to dictate the maintenance schedule. Future work will include the development of an on-line user-friendly monitoring system that can be used to indicate the condition of the laser and warn the user should any abnormalities be observed. The proposed monitoring system can also be used to determine when and what maintenance is required to keep an industrial laser functioning properly.

The quality of condition monitoring is an important factor affecting the effectiveness of a condition-based maintenance program. It depends closely on implemented inspection and instrument technologies, and eventually on investment costs, i.e., a more accurate condition monitoring information requires a more sophisticated inspection, hence a higher cost. While numerous works in the literature have considered problems related to condition monitoring quality, (e.g., imperfect inspection models, detection and localization techniques, etc.) few of them focus on adjusting condition monitoring quality for condition-based maintenance optimization. In this paper, we investigate how such an adjustment can help to reduce the total cost of a condition-based maintenance program. The condition monitoring quality is characterized by the observation noises on the system degradation level returned by an inspection. A dynamic condition-based maintenance and inspection policy adapted to such a observation information is proposed and formulated based on Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes. The use and advantages of the proposed joint inspection and maintenance model are numerically discussed and compared to several inspection-maintenance policies through numerical examples.

This paper considers the integration problem of production, maintenance and quality for a capacitated lot-sizing production system subject to deterioration. The effects of varying operational conditions from batch to batch on system reliability and product quality are modelled by proportional hazards models, resulting in non-monotonic failure rate and defect rate. After each batch production, imperfect preventive maintenance (PM) is determined to mitigate the system deterioration, and inspection is taken to sort nonconforming items in the finished goods. Once the cumulative number of nonconforming items exceeds a predetermined threshold, an overhaul is performed to renew the system. An integrated model for optimising production plan, PM plan and overhaul strategy is developed to minimise the total cost while satisfying all product demands. A genetic algorithm is proposed to solve the integrated model efficiently. Numerical results validate the rationality of the model with varying operational conditions consideration and its applicability in economic benefits.

Statistical process monitoring and maintenance are two major concepts to increase system reliability and conforming products. To simplify mathematical modeling, the most of existing researches in the literature suffer from three significant disadvantages: (1) statistical process monitoring and maintenance often have been implemented on the single unit systems, in spite of the fact that most of real production processes consists of multiple units; (2) they apply control charts with fixed parameters that are slow in detecting small and moderate shifts; and (3) they design control charts by minimizing the quality cost ignoring statistical properties that decreases extremely the power of control chart. To overcome these drawbacks, this research integrates the economic-statistical design of a VP-Shewhart chart with condition-based maintenance for two-unit series systems. The particle swarm optimization algorithm is applied to minimize the expected total cost per time unit subject to specific statistical constraints. Eventually, the cost savings from monitoring the system with the flexible VP-Shewhart chart are compared to the FP-Shewhart chart through several instances based on a case study. Also, a sensitivity analysis is implemented on the decision variables to extend insights into the matter. The attained results demonstrate that applying the VP-Shewhart chart instead of FP-Shewhart chart leads to a significant increase in the cost savings.

Superior manufacturing quality is prerequisite to continuously produce reliable products, and the proactive product reliability assurance is always a crucial routine task for manufacturing. Therefore, this paper presents a reliability-oriented optimization model for joint preventive maintenance (PM) and process quality control with time-between-events (TBE) control chart, where the impact of manufacturing process on product final reliability is considered to reduce the product reliability degradation originating from latent manufacturing defects. Firstly, as the foundation of reliability-oriented control, the product reliability degradation mechanism in manufacturing stage is analyzed, and the process variations of product critical-to-reliability characteristics and internal defects are considered to model the product actual reliability. On this basis, periodical PM and TBE chart are jointly applied to enhance machine performance and improve manufacturing process quality to reduce potential reliability degradation, and a three-scenario model is proposed. Then, to evaluate the performance of the integrated model, the occurrence probability, expected reliability degradation, average operational cost, and cycle time of each scenario are analyzed, and the joint policy is optimized to minimize the expected reliability degradation of batch products within a limited cost range. Finally, a case study is presented to verify the performance of the developed model by comparing it with a pure planned maintenance policy, and a sensitivity analysis is conducted to analyze the impacts of model parameters.

The goal of a computer numerically controlled (CNC) equipment is to guarantee high specified performance and to maintain it effectively over its life cycle time. Thus, the assessment of health condition is crucial for industrial systems. However, very few papers have dealt with the cost-optimal early fault detection and remaining useful life prediction of CNC equipment using multivariate positioning data. The novel approach presented here is based on vector autoregressive (VAR) degradation modeling and hidden semi-Markov modeling using the optimal Bayesian control technique. System condition is modeled using a continuous time semi-Markov chain with three states, i.e. unobservable healthy state 1, unobservable warning state 2 and observable failure state 3. Model parameter estimates are calculated using the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. The optimal control policy for the three-state model is represented by a Bayesian control chart for a multivariate observation process. The optimization problem is formulated and solved in the semi-Markov decision process (SMDP) framework. A formula for the mean residual life (MRL) is also derived based on Bayesian approach, which enables the estimation of the remaining useful life and early maintenance planning based on the observed data. The validation of the proposed methodologies is carried out using actual multivariate degradation data obtained from a CNC equipment. A comparison with the multivariate Bayesian control chart based on a hidden Markov model (HMM) is given, which illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Most maintenance optimization models of gear systems have considered single failure mode. There have been very few papers dealing with multiple failure modes, considering mostly independent failure modes. In this paper, we present an optimal Bayesian control scheme for early fault detection of the gear system with dependent competing risks. The system failures include degradation failure and catastrophic failure. A three‐state continuous‐time–homogeneous hidden Markov model (HMM), namely the model with unobservable healthy and unhealthy states, and an observable failure state, describes the deterioration process of the gear system. The condition monitoring information as well as the age of the system are considered in the proposed optimal Bayesian maintenance policy. The objective is to maximize the long‐run expected average system availability per unit time. The maintenance optimization model is formulated and solved in a semi‐Markov decision process (SMDP) framework. The posterior probability that the system is in the warning state is used for the residual life estimation and Bayesian control chart development. The prediction results show that the mean residual lives obtained in this paper are much closer to the actual values than previously published results. A comparison with the Bayesian control chart based on the previously published HMM and the age‐based replacement policy is given to illustrate the superiority of the proposed approach. The results demonstrate that the Bayesian control scheme with two dependent failure modes can detect the gear fault earlier and improve the availability of the system.
