Maintenance Optimization Models

Maintenance Optimization Models are systematic methods used to determine the best schedule and type of maintenance activities for equipment or machinery. Their goal is to balance costs—such as maintenance expenses, downtime, and failures—to ensure reliable operation while minimizing unnecessary maintenance. By analyzing factors like failure rates, repair costs, and operational importance, these models help organizations decide when to perform maintenance tasks, whether preventive or corrective. This approach improves equipment lifespan, reduces unexpected failures, and optimizes overall operational efficiency, making maintenance strategies more effective and cost-efficient.
