| Abstract: | In this paper the authors consider a system with two production operations (typically machines) and a buffer between them. The objective is to determine the optimal buffer inventory level, b, that triggers preventive maintenance on the first production operation. The authors assume that periodic preventive maintenance will, in the long run, decrease the first production operation's failure rate. A cost model for system is specified that includes the costs of preventive maintenance and unscheduled repairs, starving the second production operation , and inventory. |
