An analysis to multi-state manufacturing system with common cause failure and waiting repair strategy

چکیده
Abstract: This paper presents a mathematical model for a multi-state complex repairable manufacturing system with four types of failures such as common cause, partial, human and catastrophic incorporating waiting time to repair. As regards to repairing of the system, it has to be wait for repair due to unavailability of repair facility after common cause failure. The system may also fail due to catastrophic failure and due to incorrect start of the system, which can occur due to an untrained and inexperienced operator (human failure). The analysis is carried out using the supplementary variable technique and Laplace transformation for evaluating reliability measures such as availability, reliability, mean time to failure, mean time to repair, cost benefit analysis and sensitivity analysis of the system. Some graphical illustrations have also been taken to highlight the practical utility of the model.

(m, M) Machining system with two unreliable servers, mixed spares and common-cause failure
This paper deals with multi-component machine repair model having provision of warm standby units and repair facility consisting of two heterogeneous servers (primary and secondary) to provide repair to the failed units. The failure of operating and standby units may occur individually or due to some common cause. The primary server may fail partially following full failure whereas secondary se...

In the present investigation, we deal with the reliability characteristics of a repairable system consisting of two independent operating units, by incorporating the coverage factor. The probability of the successful detection, location and recovery from a failure is known as the coverage probability. The reboot delay and common cause shock failure are also considered. The times to failure of t...

In this investigation, the explicit expressions for reliability function and mean time to failure (MTTF) of a repairable system with provision of spares and removable multi-repair facility have been established. In removable repairmen strategy, the repairmen turn on when there are N or more than N failed units and turn-off when system is empty. The failure times of operating/spare units and rep...

متن کاملMaintainability Policy for Deteriorating System with Inspection and Common Cause Failure (TECHNICAL NOTE)
A condition based preventive and corrective maintenance policy is proposed for a continuously operating system. The condition of the system is assumed to deteriorate with time. The model incorporates both deterioration as well as random common cause failures. The deterioration stages are modeled as discrete state processes. The system is put to random inspection to know the condition. The mean ...
