Abstract :
The purpose of the paper is to study the production and maintenance control problem of a failure prone manufacturing system consisting of one machine and producing one part type. The machine is assumed to have three working states: good, average and bad, and a failure state. When in the three working states, the machine can produce parts and the rejected rates of the bad parts depends on the state. When in the failure state, no part is produced. The state transition of the machine is governed by a continuous-time Markov process. The jump rates from average and bad states to the good state are the preventive maintenance rates and the one from failure state to good state is the corrective maintenance rate. The production rate and the maintenance rates are optimized
