Title
Joint planning of service engineers and spare parts.
Abstract
•A single-site maintenance system with outsourcing is analyzed.•Joint optimization of spare parts inventories and workforce capacity is examined.•A Mixed-Integer Programming (MIP) for exact optimization is formulated.•A time-efficient and accurate optimization heuristic is proposed.•The optimal balance between system costs is analyzed in different settings.
