Optimal repair allocation in a series system expected discounted operation time criterion

Consider a series system with n repairable components maintained by a single repairman. The following assumptions are made. Component failure and repair times are independent, exponentially distributed, random variables. Component failures can occur even while the system is not functioning and it is possible to reassign the repairman among failed components instantaneously. It is shown that the policy which always assigns the repairman to the failed component with the smallest failure rate among the failed ones maximizes the expected discounted system operation time irrespective of the values of the repair rates and the discount rate     

A study of repairable parts inventory system operating under performance-based contract

Performance-Based Logistics (PBL) is becoming a dominant logistics support strategy, especially in the defense industry. PBL contracts are designed to serve the customer’s key performance measures, while the traditional contracts for after-sales services, such as Fixed-price (FP) and Cost-plus (C+), only provide insurance or incentive. In this research, we develop an inventory model for a repairable parts system operating under a PBL contract. We model the closed-loop inventory system as an M/M/m queue in which component failures are Poisson distributed and the repair times at the service facility are exponential. Our model provides the supplier and the customer increased flexibility in achieving target availability. Analysis of key parameters suggests that to improve the availability of the system with repairable spare parts, the supplier should work to improve the components reliability and efficiency of repair facility, rather than the base stock level, which has minimal impact on system availability.     

Mean First-passage Times for a <Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>-out-of-<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis> Sytem with Repair

Consider a k-out-of-n system where the lifetimes of the components are independent and identically distributed exponential (λ) random variables. Each component has its own repair facility, the repair times being independent and identically distributed exponential (μ) random variables, independent of the failure times. The mean operating time and mean repair time during the cycle between two successive breakdowns are found using renewal theory and the expression for the system availability. Using these, the mean first-passage times from any of the operating states of the system to the down state, and the mean first-passage times from any of the down states to the operating state are found recursively.     

On modeling failure and repair times in stochastic models of manufacturing systems using generalized exponential distributions

Failures of machines have a significant effect on the behavior of manufacturing systems. As a result it is important to model this phenomenon. Many queueing models of manufacturing systems do incorporate the unreliability of the machines. Most models assume that the times to failure and the times to repair of each machine are exponentially distributed (or geometrically distributed in the case of discrete-time models). However, exponential distributions do not always accurately represent actual distributions encountered in real manufacturing systems. In this paper, we propose to model failure and repair time distributions bygeneralized exponential (GE) distributions (orgeneralized geometric distributions in the case of a discretetime model). The GE distribution can be used to approximate distributions with any coefficient of variation greater than one. The main contribution of the paper is to show that queueing models in which failure and repair times are represented by GE distributions can be analyzed with the same complexity as if these distributions were exponential. Indeed, we show that failures and repair times represented by GE distributions can (under certain assumptions) be equivalently represented by exponential distributions.This work was performed while the author was visiting the Laboratory for Manufacturing and Productivity, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.     

Exact analysis of a two-workstation one-buffer flow line with parallel unreliable machines

This paper examines a model of a serial flow line with two workstations and an intermediate buffer. Each workstation consists of multiple unreliable parallel machines which are not necessarily identical, viz., the processing times, failure times and repair times of the parallel machines at each workstation are assumed to be exponentially distributed with non-identical mean rates. The system under consideration is solved via exact Markovian analysis. More specifically, a recursive algorithm that generates the transition matrix for any value of the intermediate buffer capacity is developed and all possible transition equations are derived and solved analytically. Once the transition equations are solved the performance measures of the model under consideration can be easily evaluated. This model may be used as a decomposition block for solving larger flow lines with parallel unreliable machines at each workstation.     

Gerber–Shiu discounted penalty function in a Sparre Andersen model with multi-layer dividend strategy

This paper studies a Sparre Andersen model in which the inter-claim times are generalized Erlang(n) distributed. We assume that the premium rate is a step function depending on the current surplus level. A piecewise integro-differential equation for the Gerber–Shiu discounted penalty function is derived and solved. Finally, to illustrate the solution procedure, explicit expression for the Laplace transform of the time to ruin is given when the inter-claim times are generalized Erlang(2) distributed and the claim amounts are exponentially distributed.     

Optimal Control of Failure-Prone Manufacturing Systems with Constant Repair Times

This paper considers a failure-prone manufacturing system with exponentially distributed operational times and constant repair times. Under the hedging-point policy, the steady-state probability density function of the buffer level is determined. The optimality of the hedging-point policy for this problem is proven, and analytical expressions for the computation of the optimal hedging point are determined. It is also shown that the optimal hedging point for the system with constant repair times provides a lower bound for the optimal hedging point for any other independent, identically distributed (iid) repair time sequence having the same mean. Using a queueing equivalence, an expression is derived for determining the optimal hedging point for any iid repair time sequence.
