Abstract


This article presents a new technique to minimize preventive maintenance cost under given availability constraint of parallel- series systems. The resolution consists in determining the solution vector of system component inspection periods TP. We suggest a metaheuristic method based on an ant colony system (ACS) for best calculation of TP. The suggested methodology was applied to the electric feeding system of a unit of natural gas liquefaction in Algeria. The results obtained allowed a considerable improvement of the plan of preventive maintenance in this unit. A comparison is established between results obtained by (ACS) and Genetic algorithm (GA) via cost evaluation and the best values of TP
