Joint maintenance and inventory optimization systems: A review

A Novel Framework for Simulation-based Optimisation of Maintenance Systems

“…In order to include papers published in other databases or those that did not use our search terms, citations in the review papers were traced. In total, ten relevant journal articles were incorporated [1,2,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Survey papers were examined paragraph by paragraph with specific focus on review findings, research gaps and limitations and recommendations for further research.…”

A survey of maintenance and service logistics management: Classification and research agenda from a maritime sector perspective

“…Maintenance models often rely on the assumption that spare parts are always available in stock [103]. As such, one can optimize maintenance and spare parts inventory decisions independently.…”

Alliance strategy: context, process, and requirements

“…Organizations can improve performance by sharing back-office services and service delivery (Arya, 2011;Niehaves and Krause, 2010), or bundle incoming or outgoing logistical flows to reduce environmental impact and monetary costs. And finally, organizations may share assets, pool stocks and co-organize maintenance services to improve economies of scale, uptime, safety, and capacity use (Karsten and Basten, 2014;Van Horenbeek et al, 2013). Inter-organizational cooperation could enable proactive and life-cycle based approaches to maintenance which reduce overall costs over time (Van der Lei et al, 2012).…”

“…Value chains become more predictable, reliable, and proactive (Van Horenbeek et al, 2013); this may enhance value chain adaptability, and capacity use while reducing costs and risks (Shirodkar and Kempf, 2006). Advantages work both sides.…”

“…More applied, strategic structures refer to high-level choices with respect to specialization and service design across organizations (Brusoni, 2013). This involves topics such as which organization becomes responsible for which service modules (Janssen and Joha, 2008) or level of maintenance (Van Horenbeek et al, 2013;Wong et al, 2007).…”
