Abstract
This paper presents an approach for optimization of preventive maintenance total cost to address both quality and reliability issues simultaneously in a single-objective environment. The concepts of operation optimization, reliability and quality loss are brought together to build the model. The proposed approach can determine optimal maintenance interval and minimize the combined preventive maintenance cost and quality loss, ensuring reliable, robust, and concurrently cost-effective product design by satisfying all the desired quality characteristics. The technique is advantageous because it allows setting and achieving the target values for the quality characteristics, obtaining the expected values by minimizing their variances, and at the same time ensuring that the design meets the reliability target.
