This paper discusses an integrated model of batch production and maintenance scheduling on a
deteriorating machine producing multiple items to be delivered at a common due date. The model
describes the trade-off between total inventory cost and maintenance cost as the increase of
production run length. The production run length is a time bucket between two consecutive
preventive maintenance activities. The objective function of the model is to minimize total cost
consisting of in process and completed part inventory costs, setup cost, preventive and corrective
maintenance costs and rework cost. The problem is to determine the optimal production run
length and to schedule the batches obtained from determining the production run length in order
to minimize total cost.

1. Introduction
Delay in delivering order in a manufacturing company to consumer can be caused by several factors,
such as no coordination between production and maintenance divisions in the manufacturing system,
among others. It may cause in the following conditions. First, the operation of a busy machine has to be
stopped as the scheduled maintenance activity should be started. Second, the machine could break down
if the scheduled maintenance activity is not conducted.
A real example is well described by the following case. Company X gets some orders of machinery works
in large quantities from its partner industries. It processes the orders in batches with constant sizes
determined by the production division. Meanwhile, the maintenance division carries out any machine
repair only when a failure of the machine occurs (reactive maintenance). Late delivery orders to
