Reliability and Sensitivity Analysis of a System with Warm Standbys and a Repairable Service Station
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the reliability and sensitivity analysis of a system with M operating machines, S warm standbys, and a repairable service station. Failure times and service times of each machine (operating or standby) are assumed to be exponentially distributed. While the service station is working, it is subject to breakdowns according to a Poisson process. When the station breaks down, it requires repair at a repair facility, where the repair times follow the negative exponential distribution. The K out of M + S system is analyzed where K = 1, 2, ..., M. This paper presents derivations for the system reliability, Ry(t), the mean time to system failure, MTTF, and numerical illustration. Several cases are analyzed to investigate the effects of various parameters on the Ry(t) and the MTTF. Sensitivity analysis for the Ry(t) and the MTTF is also studied.

Reliability Analysis of Redundant Repairable System with Degraded Failure
This investigation deals with the transient analysis of the machine repair system consisting of M-operating units operating under the care of single repairman. To improve the system reliability/availability, Y warm standby and S cold standby units are provided to replace the failed units. In case when all spares are being used, the failure of units occurs in degraded fashion. In such situation ...
متن کاملTransient analysis of hardware and software systems with warm standbys and switching failures
Redundancy or standby is a provision which plays an important role in improving the reliability of engineering systems. This investigation deals with the reliability and sensitivity analysis of a repairable system (consisting of hardware and software components) with warm standbys and switching failures. The failure and repair rates of the components are assumed to follow exponential distributi...

متن کاملBi-Level Control Policy for Redundant Repairable Multicomponent System with Reneging, Set Up and Vacation
This paper deals with bi-level control policy and queuing analysis of a machine repair problem. The model is developed by incorporating mixed standbys (cold and warm), reneging, set up and vacation time. The repair facility consists of two heterogeneous repairmen in the system. The life and repair time of the failed units and also their set up times are assumed to be exponentially distributed. ...
متن کاملReliability analysis of a two-unit general parallel system with (n-2) warm standbys
A parallel (2, n – 2)-system is investigated here where two units start their operation simultaneously and any one of them is replaced instantaneously upon its failure by one of the (2; n – 2) warm standbys. We assume availability of n non-identical, non-repairable units. The unit-lifetimes in full operational mode and in partial operational mode have general distribution functions Gi and Hi (i...
