ANALYSIS OF DISCRETE-TIME MACHINE REPAIR PROBLEM WITH TWO REMOVABLE SERVERS UNDER TRIADIC POLICY
Authors
Abstract:
This paper analyzes a controllable discrete-time machine repair problem withL operating machines and two repairmen. The number of working servers can be adjusteddepending on the number of failed machines in the system one at a time at machine's failure orat service completion epochs. Analytical closed-form solutions of the stationary probabilities ofthe number of failed machines in the system are obtained. We develop the total expected costfunction per machine per unit time and obtain the optimal operating policy and the optimalservice rate at minimum cost using quadratic ¯t search method and simulated annealingmethod. Various performance measures along with numerical results to illustrate the in°uenceof various parameters on the bu®er behavior are also presented.

full textA time-shared machine repair problem with mixed spares under N-policy
The present investigation deals with a machine repair problem consisting of cold and warm standby machines. The machines are subject to breakdown and are repaired by the permanent repairman operating under N-policy. There is provision of one additional removable repairman who is called upon when the work load of failed machines crosses a certain threshold level and is removed as soon as the wor...
full textVacation model for Markov machine repair problem with two heterogeneous unreliable servers and threshold recovery
Markov model of multi-component machining system comprising two unreliable heterogeneous servers and mixed type of standby support has been studied. The repair job of broken down machines is done on the basis of bi-level threshold policy for the activation of the servers. The server returns back to render repair job when the pre-specified workload of failed machines is build up. The first (seco...

This paper analyzes a discrete-time infinite-buffer Geo/Geo/2 queue, in which the number of servers can be adjusted depending on the number of customers in the system one at a time at arrival or at service completion epoch. Analytical closed-form solutions of the infinite-buffer Geo/Geo/2 queueing system operating under the triadic (0, Q N, M) policy are derived. The total expected cost functio...

In many industrial situations, machines are subjected to random breakdowns. In this paper, we consider the asynchronous vacation policy for the multi-server machine repair problem with server breakdown and two types of spares. According to this policy, when a certain number of servers become idle at a service completion instant, the servers will take an asynchronous vacation of random length to...
