Benefit of Flexibility in case of Machine Failures*
نویسنده
چکیده
Flexibility in a queueing system is known to offer faster response time. Two types of flexibility, parallel and serial flexibility, are studied in this paper. As an extension, we deal with the case where there occur server failures. And we show the improvement in waiting time by having flexibility in case of server failures. In deriving the improvement of flexibility, we apply the heavy traffic approximatin method. (

The success of reproduction, although gradually increasing over the years, many couples also had been left frustrated following repeated failed attempts. Implantation of the embryo, can only take place in a receptive uterus and inadequate uterine receptivity is responsible for approximately two-thirds of implantation failures. Endometrial receptivity can be reduced by morphological and/or molec...
متن کاملA One-Stage Two-Machine Replacement Strategy Based on the Bayesian Inference Method
In this research, we consider an application of the Bayesian Inferences in machine replacement problem. The application is concerned with the time to replace two machines producing a specific product; each machine doing a special operation on the product when there are manufacturing defects because of failures. A common practice for this kind of problem is to fit a single distribution to the co...
متن کاملPeriodic flexible maintenance planning in a single-machine production environment
Preventive maintenance is the essential part of many maintenance plans. From the production point of view, the flexibility of the maintenance intervals enhances the manufacturing efficiency. On the contrary, the maintenance departments tend to know the timing of the long term maintenance plans as certain as possible. In a single-machine production environment, this paper proposes a simulation–o...
متن کاملRAM analysis of earth pressure balance tunnel boring machines: A case study
Earth pressure balance tunnel boring machines (EPB-TBMs) are favorably applied in urban tunneling projects. Despite their numerous advantages, considerable delays and high maintenance cost are the main disadvantages these machines suffer from. Reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) analysis is a practical technique that uses failure and repair dataset obtained over a reasonable ti...
