On the maintenance of systems composed of highly reliable components

Article Abstract:

Repair allocation models are developed for a highly reliable, multi-component system with a limited number of repairmen. The models are devised to determine repair allocation policies that maximize a performance measure. Exponentially distributed, known parameter random variables are used for repair times and component functioning. Asymptotically optimal scheduling policies are developed for parallel subsystems connected in a series, series systems, and parallel systems.

An algorithm for solving the job-shop problem

Article Abstract:

A branch and bound method which solves the famous 10 X 10 job-shop problem proposed by Muth and Thompson (1963) is developed. The algorithm is based on a one-machine scheduling problem, and immediate selections have been used to increase the model's efficiency and limit the search tree.
