In this paper the impact of machine failures on production lines in a Accepted September 25 2018 closed-loop supply chain systems is examined. For this purpose a new method is proposed for Available online scheduling manufacturing workshops in a supply chain systems. The aim is to determine the October 3 2018 Keywords best production plans in a manufacturing system by considering alternative preventive Facilities planning and design maintenance programs while machine failures can affect system performance. To solve the Supply Chain Scheduling model a hybrid Ant Colony and Simulated Annealing algorithms is developed and the results Machine Failure are compared with branch and bound method. Our findings show that the condition of emerging Preventive Maintenance machine failure affects machines capacity which yields to lost sale. The impacts of using appropriate preventive maintenance on reducing lost sale is also examined. The results indicate that the proposed .
