On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Association of European Operational Research
Societies (EURO), we share our perspectives and reflections on maintenance research. …

Rolling stock needs regular maintenance in a maintenance facility. Rolling stock from different
fleets are routed to maintenance facilities by interchanging the destinations of trains at …

We consider a single inventory location where multiple types of repairable spare parts are
kept for service and maintenance of several different fleets of assets. Demand for each part is …

This paper presents a framework for planning and control of the spare parts supply chain in
organisations that use and maintain high-value capital assets. Decisions in the framework …

This paper presents a column-and-constraint generation algorithm for two-stage stochastic
programming problems. A distinctive feature of the algorithm is that it does not assume fixed …

… Joachim Arts is an associate professor at the University of Luxembourg in the Luxembourg
Centre for Logistics and Supply Chain Management (LCL) part of the MIT SCALE network. …

… Our objective is to determine in both cases, w j = l j and w j < l j , the on-hand stock and the
number of backorders at warehouse j , denoted with I j + and I j − respectively, the fraction of …

Problem definition: Unexpected failures of equipment can have severe consequences and
costs. Such unexpected failures can be prevented by performing preventive replacement …

… obtained by distinguishing the cases j<Δ and j=Δ. First consider the case j<Δ; we have that:
… Joachim Arts is a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Industrial Engineering at the Eindhoven …

We consider a single stock-point for a repairable item facing Markov modulated Poisson
demand. Repair of failed parts may be expedited at an additional cost to receive a shorter lead …
