Bi-Level Control Policy for Redundant Repairable Multicomponent System with Reneging, Set Up and Vacation

Authors

Abstract:

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. The steady state queue size distribution is obtained by using recursive method. Expressions are derived for the number of failed units in the queue and the average waiting time for repair, throughput, etc. By setting appropriate parameters, we deduce some special models.

Reliability of Repairable Multicomponent Redundant System

This investigation deals with transient analysis of cold standby system with n units . Chapman-Kolmogorov equations are developed for repair facility with two repairmen and solved by using matrix technique. Availability and reliability factors have been obtained with probability of the system. A particular case has also been discussed.

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 ...

Policy Set-Up Time, Multiple Vacation and Disasters

This paper studies the / / 1 Geo G queue model with , p N policy set-up time, multiple vacation and disasters. The server will start up the random set-up period with the probability p if the customer number is at least N at the end of a random length V of the holiday. Otherwise, the server takes vacation repeatedly with the probability p . Using embedded Markov chain and supplemental variable m...

Markovian analysis of unreliable multi-components redundant fault tolerant system with working vacation and F-policy

This investigation presents admission control policy for the fault tolerant system comprising of multi-components operating machines and multiple types of warm standbys under the maintenance of single unreliable server. The concepts of F-policy which deals with the controlling of inflow of failed machines and imperfect coverage are incorporated to make Markov model formulation more realistic. T...

An M/G/1 Reneging Queueing System with Second Optional Service and with Second Optional Vacation

We study an M/G/1 queueing system where the arrival follows Poisson Process. The server provides service in two stages, the first stage service is essential and the second stage of service is optional. If the system is empty then the server goes for a vacation of random duration and after returning from vacation the server decides to take a second vacation which is optional. When the server is ...

Optimal overhaul–replacement policy for a multi-degraded repairable system sold with warranty

In this research, we study an optimal overhaul–replacement policy of a multi-degraded repairable system sold with a free replacement warranty. In the proposed replacement policy, a maintenance action and failure are dependent on a system degradation level and the system age, and hence the replacement model will provide more effective maintenance decisions. Failure of the system is modeled using...
