Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study is to propose and model an integrated production‐maintenance strategy for a failure‐prone machine in a just‐in‐time context. Design/methodology/approach The proposed integrated policy is defined and a simulation model is developed to investigate it. Findings The paper focuses on finding simultaneously two decision variables: the period ( T ) at which preventive maintenance actions have to be performed; and the sequence of jobs ( S ). These values minimize the maintenance costs (M C ) and the expected total earliness and tardiness costs (ET C ) away from a common due‐date D . Practical implications The paper attempts to integrate in a single model the two main aspects of any manufacturing and production systems: production and maintenance. It focuses on a stochastic scheduling problem in which n immediately available jobs are to be scheduled jointly with the preventive maintenance. The effect of the period ( T ) and the sequence of job ( S ) on the expected total cost are shown through a numerical example. Originality/value The paper proposes an integrated model that links production, preventive maintenance and corrective maintenance. It is simultaneously focusing on the period ( T ) at which preventive maintenance actions have to be performed and the sequence of jobs ( S ) to reduce production and maintenance‐related costs.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
