Sammanfattning
Manufacturing companies and industries are striving to maintain failure free production
and therefore it is of great importance to have modern tools to assist maintenance
activities. The move toward digitalization has brought new advantages and
allowed for the transition to smart maintenance (SM).
In this thesis, the use of Discrete-event simulation (DES) for the maintenance of
manufacturing applications as well as the link between DES and SM dimensions are
researched. With the aim to find the use of DES in manufacturing maintenance
applications as well as the link between DES and SM dimensions, literature study
was conducted along with interviews to develop both quantitative and qualitative
data, then this data is analyzed, and interpreted as a result. The report also encompasses
information regarding DES, maintenance types and SM. Results states the
use of DES in manufacturing maintenance applications and the link between DES
and SM dimensions. Future research agenda also addresses the potential use of DES
in maintenance area as well as in SM dimensions that have not yet been assessed by
literature.
