Long-term maintenance planning is able to reduce maintenance cost. our model is constructed from 60 elements. The maintenance plan must keep required performances for service life. To make long-term maintenance plan is considered to the combinatorial problem with many constraints. This kind of problem is very difficult to obtain a solution. We applied Improved Genetic Algorithm for this problem.
We develop new DNA structure and new natural selection. It is very easy construction and very efficiency for searching long-term maintenance plan. Numerical example was formulated and we could obtain good solution.
