Genetic Algorithms is one of the techniques which has been applied in recent years to contribute to the scheduling of Preventive Maintenance (PM) to improve the whole system performance and run efficiently and effectively. This paper aims to estimate the interval of preventive maintenance for any processing equipment using genetic algorithms. A centrifugal pump is presented as critical equipment to apply a genetic algorithm to prolong the interval of PM. The obtained results show that a genetic algorithm is effective and practical in estimating the optimum time of preventive maintenance for centrifugal pumps.
