Abstract

A joint-maintenance strategy is proposed for multi-component engineering systems. It achieves the goal of reducing maintenance cost by performing preventive maintenance in groups. Two kinds of preventive maintenance operations are considered, referred to as minor maintenance and major maintenance, renewing each Shop Replaceable Unit (SRU) and the Least Replaceable Unit (LRU) respectively. The focal points of strategy mainly includes three part of costs: (i) cost of maintenance, (ii) cost of working consumption and (iii) cost of economic dependence. A quantum-inspired genetic algorithm (QGA) is proposed to find the optimum major maintenance cycle for LRU and the recurrence rate of minor maintenance for each SRU. The main idea focuses on that significant maintenance cost could be saved by performing preventive maintenance of some SRUs together. To support the optimization of two numerical types at the same time, hybrid coding is adopted in this algorithm to represent feasible solutions. Special evolutionary operations are developed to increase its diversity. It's shown that by performing preventive maintenance of some SRUs together, significant maintenance cost could be saved. A numerical case study is conducted and the experiment results demonstrates that the proposed maintenance strategy and corresponding optimization algorithm is effective in cutting the average maintenance costs.
