Analysis of a Parallel System with Priority to Repair over Maintenance Subject to Random Shocks

چکیده
The goal of this paper is to analyze a two unit parallel system subject to random shocks. For this purpose, a reliability model is developed in which two identical units work in parallel. The operative unit is subjected to random shocks with some probabilities. The unit fails completely through normal mode. The maintenance and repair of the unit are conducted by a server who visits the system immediately. The shocked unit undergoes for maintenance whereas repair of the unit is done at its failure due to the reasons other than shocks. Priority is given to repair over maintenance. All random variables are statistically independent. The shock and failure times of the unit are exponentially distributed where as the distributions of maintenance and repair times are taken as arbitrary. Using regenerative point technique and semiMarkov process, several measures of system effectiveness are obtained in steady state. The graphical behavior of MTSF, availability and profit function has been analyzed for particular values of various parameters and costs.

The optimal age-based replacement policy for systems subject to shocks
In this article, two different systems subject to shocks occurring based on a non-homogeneous Poisson process (NHPP) are analyzed. Type –I system is consisted of a single unit and type –II system is consisted of two parallel units in which both units operate identically and simultaneously. In type –I system occurrence of a shock causes system stopping and consequently will be received minimal r...
متن کاملMaintenance Cost Analysis for Replacement Model with Perfect Minimal Repair
With the evolution of technology, the maintenance of sophisticated systems is of concern for system engineers and system designers. The maintenance cost of the system depends in general on the replacement and repair policies. The system replacement may be in a strictly periodic fashion or on a random basis depending upon the maintenance policy. At failure, the repair of the system may be perfor...

Abstract In this work, a stress is given on the evaluation of performance measures of a parallel system under priority with necessary conditions on operation and repair times. The units are identical in nature subject to constant failure. There is a single server who visits the system immediately to rectify the faults whenever occurred in the system. The system undergoes for preventive maintena...
متن کاملCost- Benefit Analysis of a Single-unit System Subject to Random Shocks
The purpose of the present study is to carry out cost-benefit analysis of a single-unit system subject to random shocks. The operative unit may be affected by the impact of random shocks with some probabilities. The unit may fail completely due to the reasons other than shocks. There is a single server who visits the system immediately. The maintenance of the unit is carried out by the server i...
متن کاملThe Simultaneous Effect of Holding Safety Stock and Purchasing Policies on the Economic Production Quantity Model Subject to Random Machine Breakdown
In this paper, we develop an economic production quantity (EPQ) model under machine breakdown and two types of repair (corrective and preventive). also, study the simultaneous effect of holding safety stock and purchasing policy. In order to avoid shortages occurring as a result of the random repair time, in addition to keep safety stock, we suppose that the manufacturer could purchase some qua...
