This paper presents results from a case study in predictive
maintenance at a distribution warehouse. A simulation
model was built with ARENA 5.0 for integrating predic-
tive maintenance strategies with production planning
strategies, for a conveyor system. Equipment health was
monitored using condition-based parameters such as tem-
perature and vibration for mechanical and electrical com-
ponents such as rollers, electrical motors, and gearboxes.
