Extended Framework for Preventive Maintenance Planning: Risk and Behaviour Analysis of a Proposed Optimization Model by Pablo Viveros, Marco Espinoza, Rodrigo Mena, Fredy Kristjanpoller

“…Moreover, it seeks to identify the general behaviour of the optimization model against different scenarios of periodicities and execution times of each maintenance activity. The proposed optimization model is formulated under a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) paradigm and its objective function seeks to minimize the unavailability of the system associated with the execution times of the activities developed, generating different experimental cases, and varying the start time scheduling under a tolerance factor from 0% up to a maximum of 25% for advance or delay. …”

Sustainability of Local Public Finances from the Perspective of Territorial Disparities in the Rural Areas of Romania by Marinela Istrate, Ionel Muntele

“…In former communist countries such as Romania, where there has been no real reform of local government, this interest is heightened by the strong disparities between administrative units that have adapted to the new context and those that, for various reasons, have become dependent on government subsidies to be able to function. Using information derived from the budget execution for 2019–2023 at the level of the administrative units in rural areas, this study analyzes the structure of income and expenditure budgets. …”
