| dc.description.abstract | Controlling failures has stochastic features and is a challenging problem in production
planning. The objective of this study is to optimize production planning and minimize
inventory costs, including lateness penalties, by considering failure factors. In this paper,
a model is developed to integrate production planning while considering machine failures.
First, this paper proposes a simulation-optimization model that coordinates production
planning decisions with consideration of failures to solve the problem of series production
lines. Age reduction and failure rate are considered, and the inventory cost is to be
minimized in the proposed model. Also, the inventory cost is related to rescheduling
decisions and tardiness considering the reliability of equipment. Then, in order to better
describe the relationship between production and machine failure, the accumulative
processing time of equipment is used as the input of its failure function. Finally, the
proposed model is validated by a numerical case study of the Schneider Electric
Manufacturing Vietnam factory. The result concludes that the proposed method to solve
the problem is feasible and efficient for a series production line with multiple workstations
and different product families. The proposed model in this paper is suitable for assembly
