Abstract: Abstract A novel Group Technology (GT) based methodology for maintenance scheduling of complex series–parallel production system is proposed. Hierarchical Clustering (HC) method is employed to group facilities according to their similarities in location, facility type, maintenance type, structural position and maintenance time. And weight allocation of these considered factors is optimized using Tabu Search (TS). Simulation results validate the methodology’s effectiveness in reducing maintenance cost.
