Deep Reinforcement Learning for Maintenance Planning in Weibull Distributed Fleet Systems
摘要
Effective fleet maintenance planning is vital to the minimization of operational costs and downtime in industries where equipment longevity and performance are key. In this paper, we propose a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) approach to optimize fleet maintenance schedules, particularly in environments where machine lifetimes follow a Weibull distribution. Our model dynamically adjusts maintenance plans to reduce the incidence of unplanned maintenance events, which are costlier and more disruptive than planned interventions. Simulations demonstrate that our method significantly reduces unplanned maintenance rates while maintaining machine availability, outperforming traditional heuristic-based approaches.
