IEEEMotor vehicles are composed of a large number of parts, and planning the maintenance activities of different parts is a crucial decision that affects system reliability, operation costs, and capacity requirements of service providers. We propose a systematic method to determine the critical parts that should be handled with extra preventive maintenance (PM) and prepare alternative PM plans with different levels of cost and capacity usage. Our method uses a multicriteria decision-making approach to determine the critical parts and conducts statistical reliability analysis with failure data and expert knowledge to create the maintenance plans. We use the proposed method in a case study to determine optional PM packages that would support regular PM practices in the after-sales service of a large motor vehicle manufacturer. The main aim of the case study is to increase the satisfaction of customers who are more sensitive to failures, such as carriers of food and medical supplies. The results show that the optional PM packages can decrease the cost of failures while obeying the capacity limitation of the company.

A cost-effective simulation algorithm for inspection interval optimization: An application to mining equipment Gölbaşı, Onur; Demirel, Nuray (2017-11-01) In machinery maintenance policies, regular inspection intervals should be specified in such a way that the cumulative of direct and indirect financial consequences of maintenance activities should be minimized while supporting the functional health of system components. This study aims to develop a simulation algorithm, called the time-counter, to optimize inspection intervals. In the algorithm, uptime and downtime behaviors of the system components and production losses in the corrective repairs are consid...
A cooperative shipment consolidation game with emission considerations Keven, Halit.; Savaşaneril Tüfekci, Seçil; Department of Industrial Engineering (2020) Logistic operations constitute one of the most significant cost components for many companies. Furthermore, these activities have turned out to be one of the main causes of carbon emissions in the world. The carbon emission issue has been under the spotlight in many countries due to the rising concerns about global warming which brought about new regulations. Large majority of these regulations tend to increase the total costs of logistic operations by a variable factor directly related to carbon emission a...
A Generic and extendable system architecture for intelligent transportation systems / Çetinkaya, Kaan; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015) Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are distributed systems with different communicating parties which are vehicles with ITS-supporting On Board Units (OBUs), Road Side Units (RSU) and user mobile devices. These parties collectively run application services that are developed and managed by different application service providers by communicating among each other under certain timing constraints. In the current state of art, hardware, software and communications that are required to implement a given I...
A min-max vehicle routing problem with split delivery and heterogeneous demand Yakici, Ertan; Karasakal, Orhan (2013-10-01) In this article, we introduce a new variant of min-max vehicle routing problem, where various types of customer demands are satisfied by heterogeneous fleet of vehicles and split delivery of services is allowed. We assume that vehicles may serve one or more types of service with unlimited service capacity, and varying service and transfer speed. A heuristic solution approach is proposed. We report the solutions for several test problems.
A Robust PMU Based Three-Phase State Estimator Using Modal Decoupling Göl, Murat (2014-09-01) Power systems do not always operate under fully balanced conditions because of unbalanced loads and untransposed transmission lines. Under such conditions, commonly used positive sequence equivalent will no longer be valid. On the other hand, use of full three-phase model will add significant computational burden for the considered application. This paper describes a simple approach to address this issue for the specific application of state estimation. The main idea is to exploit the linearity of the estim...
