This paper investigates a new model of Optimizing Electricity costs during Integrated Scheduling of Jobs and Stochastic Preventive Maintenance under time of-use (TOU) electricity pricing scheme in unrelated parallel machine, in which the electricity price varies throughout a day. The problem lies in assigning a group of jobs, the flexible intervals of preventive maintenance to a set of unrelated parallel machines and then scheduling of jobs and flexible preventive maintenance on each separate machine so as to minimize the total electricity cost. We build an improved continuous-time mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model for the problem. To the best of our knowledge, no papers considering both production scheduling and Stochastic Preventive Maintenance under time of-use (TOU) electricity pricing scheme with minimization total Electricity costs in unrelated parallel machine. To evaluate the performance of this model, computational experiments are presented, and numerical results are given using the software CPLEX and MATLAB with then discussed.}, title={Optimizing electricity costs during integrated scheduling of jobs and stochastic preventive maintenanceunder time-of-use electricity tariffs}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/114825/PDF/13-381.pdf}, doi={10.24425/mper.2019.131452}, keywords={scheduling, production, Maintenance, electricity costs, time of use electricity tariffs, stochastic, Flexible, MILP, optimization, modeling, CPLEX, MATLAB}, }
