Performance, reliability, and performability of material handling systems
نویسنده
چکیده
A number of di erent performance measures have been used in the design and analysis of material handling systems. These performance measures have measured either: (1) the entire manufacturing system (e.g. job throughput), or (2) the material handling system independently (e.g. vehicle travel distance). The following is a review of performance, reliability, and performabilitymeasures used in the analysis and design of material handling systems in a manufacturing environment.

A Multiprocessor System with Non-Preemptive Earliest-Deadline-First Scheduling Policy: A Performability Study
This paper introduces an analytical method for approximating the performability of a firm realtime system modeled by a multi-server queue. The service discipline in the queue is earliestdeadline- first (EDF), which is an optimal scheduling algorithm. Real-time jobs with exponentially distributed relative deadlines arrive according to a Poisson process. All jobs have deadlines until the end of s...
متن کاملPerformance Prediction of a Flexible Manufacturing System
The present investigation presents a stochastic model for a flexible manufacturing system consisting of flexible machine, loading/unloading robot and an automated pallethandling device. We consider unreliable flexible manufacturing cell (FMC) wherein machine and robot operate under individual as well as common cause random failures. The pallethandling system is completely reliable. The pallet o...
متن کاملPerformability Analysis Us ing Semi-Markov Reward Processes
With the increasing complexity of multiprocessor and distributed processing systems, the need to develop efficient and accurate modeling methods is evident. Fault tolerance and degradable performance of such systems has given rise to considerable interest in models for the combined evaluation of performance and reliability [l], [2]. Markov or semi-Markov reward models can be used to evaluate th...

In this paper, we investigate an efficient off-line scheduling algorithm in which real-time tasks with precedence constraints are executed in a heterogeneous environment. It provides more features and capabilities than existing algorithms that schedule only independent tasks in real-time homogeneous systems. In addition, the proposed algorithm takes the heterogeneities of computation, communica...
