Scheduling a dynamic Aircraft Repair shop with limited Repair resources
Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research, 2013Co-Authors: Maliheh Aramon Bajestani, J. Christopher BeckAbstract:We address a dynamic Repair shop scheduling problem in the context of military Aircraft fleet management where the goal is to maintain a full complement of Aircraft over the long-term. A number of flights, each with a requirement for a specific number and type of Aircraft, are already scheduled over a long horizon. We need to assign Aircraft to flights and schedule Repair activities while considering the flights requirements, Repair capacity, and Aircraft failures. The number of Aircraft awaiting Repair dynamically changes over time due to failures and it is therefore necessary to rebuild the Repair schedule online. To solve the problem, we view the dynamic Repair shop as successive static Repair scheduling sub-problems over shorter time periods. We propose a complete approach based on the logic-based Benders decomposition to solve the static sub-problems, and design different rescheduling policies to schedule the dynamic Repair shop. Computational experiments demonstrate that the Benders model is able to find and prove optimal solutions on average four times faster than a mixed integer programming model. The rescheduling approach having both aspects of scheduling over a longer horizon and quickly adjusting the schedule increases Aircraft available in the long term by 10% compared to the approaches having either one of the aspects alone.

ICAPS - Scheduling an Aircraft Repair shop
2011Co-Authors: Maliheh Aramon Bajestani, J. Christopher BeckAbstract:We address a scheduling problem in the context of military Aircraft maintenance where the goal is to meet the Aircraft requirements for a number of missions in the presence of breakdowns. The assignment of Aircraft to a mission must consider the requirements for the mission, the probability of Aircraft failure, and capacity of the Repair shop that maintains the Aircraft. Therefore, a solution both assigns Aircraft to missions and schedules the Repair shop to meet the assignments. We propose a dispatching heuristic algorithm; three complete approaches based on mixed integer programming, constraint programming, and logic-based Benders decomposition; and a hybrid heuristic-complete approach. Experiments demonstrate that the logic-based Benders variation combining mixed integer programming and constraint programming outperforms the other approaches, that the dispatching heuristic can feasibly schedule the Repair shop in a very short time, and that using the dispatching solution as a bound marginally improves the complete approaches.
