A Direct Method for Determining Design and Support Parameters to Meet an Availability Requirement – Parameters Affecting Both Downtime and Uptime
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper uses a discrete event simulation based direct method that allows an availability requirement to be used to predict required logistics, design and operation parameters. Parameters that affect both downtime and uptime are addressed in this paper.

A Direct Method for Determining Design and Support Parameters to Meet an Availability Requirement
Customers of systems with high availability requirements are in some cases interested in migrating from buying the actual system to buying the availability of the system through “availabilitybased” contracts. Availability contracts are a subset of outcome-based contracting mechanisms that include: Power-by-the-Hour and Performance-Based Logistics (PBL). Discrete event simulation is usually a pr...
متن کاملFibre Channel over Ethernet Fault Tolerance: Achieve High Availability in a Converged Network
High availability in the data center refers not only to device-specific availability and uptime, but also to network design and features that prevent downtime in the case of a catastrophic event. Uptime in this context refers to availability of the switch to direct traffic. As more and more equipment is added to the data center network, the high availability of the network may be undermined. Ne...

متن کاملDetermining the Relative Importance of Parameters Affecting Concrete Pavement Thickness
Spending costs in construction of road pavements has turned this subject into one of the significant points in transportation infrastructure of countries. Concrete slabs consider as a paving method with ability of reducing the rehabilitation needs. Therefore, to manage costs and optimize the thickness of concrete pavements, recognizing the amount of determinative factors’ influence will be requ...
متن کاملMetrics, Key Performance Indicators, and
There are numerous parameters that influence the availability of long range aircraft. In order to develop models evaluating aircraft availability, an understanding of these parameters, along with the corresponding metrics, is required. An analysis of historical data for a modern long range transport aircraft shows that unscheduled organizational-level maintenance and depot maintenance are the l...
