Abstract
This article extends previous work on co-optimization of production and corrective and preventive maintenance including lockout/tagout. We study the impact of human error on repairable manufacturing systems subject to random failure over an infinite planning horizon and its implications for system capacity and inventory policies, and we derive an optimal policy for minimizing production cost based on machinery maintenance and inventory management while meeting market demand over an infinite horizon. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed approach and a sensitivity analysis is presented to confirm the efficiency of the control policy.
