Abstract
In modern manufacturing systems, preventive maintenance is recognized as a key strategy for optimizing performance and reducing costs. This research aims to develop a novel preventive maintenance model for high-speed press machines. The proposed model, considering operational constraints and targeting the minimization of time and cost while maximizing reliability, is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem. To solve this problem, the metaheuristic algorithms NSGA-II and Grey Wolf Optimizer have been employed, and the model’s effectiveness has been evaluated through solving small-scale examples. The results indicate that the proposed model can significantly reduce maintenance costs and simultaneously minimize machine downtime by determining optimal times for preventive maintenance activities. Furthermore, the suggested preventive maintenance model improves system reliability, leading to increased productivity and reduced costs associated with sudden failures. This model can serve as an effective decision-making tool for managers and engineers in various industries.
