Extreme Availability: Determining the Limits of Availability in Commercial Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
High availability has become increasingly important to businesses with the advent of the Web and various associated e-commerce services. This paper describes the key attributes of the very highest availability systems. Such systems and their associated support environments are qualitatively different than other systems, even other high availability systems; for the purposes of this paper these systems at the current limit of possible availability are termed extreme availability systems.

Developing a new model for availability optimization applied to a series-parallel system (Quality Engineering Conference Paper)
Redundancy technique is known as a way to enhance the reliability and availability of non-reparable systems, but for repairable systems, another factor is getting prominent called as the number of maintenance resources. In this study, availability optimization of series-parallel systems is modelled by using Markovian process by which the number of maintenance resources is located into the obje...
متن کاملDetermining maintenance system requirements by viewpoint of availability and lean thinking: A MODM approach
Since lean concept has appeared many works have been done on decreasing or even eliminating of wastes such as extra inventory. Although these studies have not taken into account expected availability seriously. So in this paper, a Multiple Objective Decision Making (MODM) model has been developed by viewpoint of these subjects. They are decreasing wastes and increasing system availability. Wast...
متن کاملAvailability analysis of mechanical systems with condition-based maintenance using semi-Markov and evaluation of optimal condition monitoring interval
Maintenance helps to extend equipment life by improving its condition and avoiding catastrophic failures. Appropriate model or mechanism is, thus, needed to quantify system availability vis-a-vis a given maintenance strategy, which will assist in decision-making for optimal utilization of maintenance resources. This paper deals with semi-Markov process (SMP) modeling for steady state availabili...
متن کاملAn Optimal Preventive Maintenance Model to Enhance Availability and Reliability of Flexible Manufacturing Systems
General preventive maintenance model for the components of a system, which improves the reliability to ‘as good as new,’ was used to optimize the maintenance cost. The cost function of a maintenance policy was minimized under given availability constraint. On the other hand, in order to ensure appropriate reliability and availability, the development of the optimal maintenanc...
متن کاملDeveloping a bi-objective optimization model for solving the availability allocation problem in repairable series–parallel systems by NSGA II
Bi-objective optimization of the availability allocation problem in a series–parallel system with repairable components is aimed in this paper. The two objectives of the problem are the availability of the system and the total cost of the system. Regarding the previous studies in series–parallel systems, the main contribution of this study is to expand the redundancy allocation problems to syst...
