Abstract :
Production planning and scheduling are critical for optimizing the performance of manufacturing systems. In practical industrial contexts—including the scheduling of maintenance, cleaning, production runs, and related tasks—delays in task execution often necessitate a subsequent increase in the effort or resources required for completion. This phenomenon is formally recognized in the literature as time-dependent deterioration. Consequently, the integration of maintenance planning with production scheduling, particularly within open job shop environments, represents a significant and complex operational challenge. Addressing the identified research gap, namely the limited investigation into the critical factors influencing this integration, this study examines the phenomenon within an open job shop production system. A hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework, integrating the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and the Ordinal Priority Approach (OPA), is employed. The DEMATEL method is first applied to analyze the interrelationships among an initial set of 20 criteria (coded C01–C20) and to filter the most influential ones. The subsequent Ordinal Priority Approach is then used to definitively rank these screened criteria. The analysis yielded two primary results. First, the DEMATEL screening process refined the initial set of 20 criteria down to 10 key factors. Second, the OPA ranking revealed the following three criteria as the most critical for integration: the availability of tools, materials, spare parts, and equipment (C04); the determination of operational production costs (C02); and the determination of maintenance and repair costs (C01).
