Integer Fuzzy Programming Approach in Bi-objective Selective Maintenance Allocation Problem

  • Published:
Journal of Mathematical Modelling and Algorithms in Operations Research

Abstract

An attempt has been made to obtain a compromise allocation based on maximization of individual reliabilities of repairable and replaceable components with in the subsystems, using the information of failed and operational components and a non linear cost function with fixed budget. A solution algorithm of fuzzy programming technique is used to solve the Bi-Objective Selective Maintenance Allocation Problem (BSMAP). Also, the problem has been solved by two other suggested methods; “Weighted Criterion Technique” and “Desirability Function Technique”. A numerical example is also presented to illustrate the computational details.
