| Abstract: | This paper considers the maintenance of an unreliable M/G/1 queue-like job shop, integrating the maintenance process and the resulting queue operating characteristics. The system may breakdown, leading to unscheduled maintenance. Otherwise, preventive maintenance is done whenn jobs have been processed — whichever comes first. Using arguments from renewal theory, basic results regarding the queue-maintenance policy are established. Both an analytical and numerical example are studied in detail. |
