Abstract
In this research, a Multi-Objective model for reliability-centered preventive maintenance planning for a production system with parallel series components is developed. In this model, maintenance costs and cost of failures; including the cost of lost production, due to system shutdown are considered. In this way, this model plans preventive maintenance operations with the aim of increasing the system reliability level, with the lowest total cost. A binary nonlinear program is developed and a numerical example is solved for it and the results are discussed. To solve the proposed model, the Augmented Epsilon Constraint Method (AUGMECON) by GAMS software is used and the results are discussed. The results show the effect of preventive service planning on system failure rate and reliability. The proposed approach can be used to plan maintenance of industrial systems by considering the reliability related costs
