Research Tool

This study focuses on the use of mathematics to model repairable equipment and the use selective maintenance strategies for a serial production line. Selective maintenance strategies include policies for identifying and prioritizing corrective and preventive maintenance actions when the resources available for performing maintenance are limited.

The objective was to investigate implementation of RFID technology for tracking.

This research advocates the use of discrete-event simulation as a proactive tool in assessing the effect of product variety on production performance
