Multi-State Reliability Modeling of A Manufacturing Cell
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Manufacturing cell consists of a machine served by a loading and unloading robot and a pallet handling system, which moves a batch of parts into and out of the system. In this study, a stochastic model is developed to analyze performance measures of a cell, which is allowed to operate under multi-states including degraded mode. The model is used to determine state probabilities of the system, which are used to determine reliability and productivity of the cell, as well as the utilization of its components, under various operational conditions, including equipment failures and fault-tolerant states. The model and the results can be useful for design engineers and operational managers to analyze performance of a system at the design or operational stage.

Monte Carlo Simulation to Compare Markovian and Neural Network Models for Reliability Assessment in Multiple AGV Manufacturing System
We compare two approaches for a Markovian model in flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) using Monte Carlo simulation. The model which is a development of Fazlollahtabar and Saidi-Mehrabad (2013), considers two features of automated flexible manufacturing systems equipped with automated guided vehicle (AGV) namely, the reliability of machines and the reliability of AGVs in a multiple AGV jobsho...

In this paper an analytical approach for the reliability evaluation of complex manufacturing system is presented, where a manufacturing system is in operative state only if its production capacity requirements are satisfied. We considered a manufacturing system with three types of failures namely type I, type II and type III failures. The proposed system works in four modes: normal, degraded, d...

Production planning and maintenance are two important problems in manufacturing systems. Despite the relationship exists between these two problems due to sudden failures and production capacity occupied by maintenance activities, each of these problems planned separately and as a result program and model efficiencies reduce in the real world. The aim of integrated production and maintena...
