Probabilistic analysis of a series–parallel repairable system with three units and vacation

This paper studies the steady-state availability and the mean up-time of a series–parallel repairable system consisting of one master control unit, two slave units and a single repairman who operates single vacation.

A special case without vacation is given. Numerical results are provided to investigate the effects of various system parameters on the steady-state availability and the mean up-time.

Reliability-based measures for a retrial system with mixed standby components

In this paper, we consider a retrial and repairable multi-component system with mixed warm and cold standby components. It is assumed that the failure times of primary (operating) and warm standby components follow exponential distributions. When a component fails, it is sent to a service station with a single server (repairman) and no waiting space. The failed component is repaired if the server is idle and it has to enter an orbit if the server is busy. The failed component in the orbit will try to get the repair service again after an exponentially distributed random time period. The repair time also has an exponential distribution. The mean time-to-failure, MTTF, and the steady-state availability, A_T(∞), are derived in this retrial and repairable system. Using a numerical example, we compare the systems with and without retrials in terms of the cost/benefit ratios. Sensitivity analysis for the mean time-to-failure and the steady-state availability are investigated as well.

A deteriorating cold standby repairable system with priority in use

In this paper, a cold standby repairable system consisting of two dissimilar components and one repairman is studied. In this system, it is assumed that the working time distributions and the repair time distributions of the two components are both exponential and component 1 is given priority in use. After repair, component 2 is “as good as new” while component 1 follows a geometric process repair. Under these assumptions, using the geometric process and a supplementary variable technique, some important reliability indices such as the system availability, reliability, mean time to first failure (MTTFF), rate of occurrence of failure (ROCOF) and the idle probability of the repairman are derived. A numerical example for the system reliability R(t) is given. And it is considered that a repair-replacement policy based on the working age T of component 1 under which the system is replaced when the working age of component 1 reaches T. Our problem is to determine an optimal policy T^∗ such that the long-run average cost per unit time of the system is minimized. The explicit expression for the long-run average cost per unit time of the system is evaluated, and the corresponding optimal replacement policy T^∗ can be found analytically or numerically. Another numerical example for replacement model is also given.     

A redundant repairable system with imperfect coverage and fuzzy parameters

This paper proposes a procedure to construct the membership functions of the system characteristics of a redundant repairable system with two primary units and one standby in which the coverage factor is the same for an operating unit failure as that for a standby unit failure. Times to failure and times to repair of the operating and standby units are assumed to follow fuzzified exponential distributions. The α-cut approach is used to extract from the fuzzy repairable system a family of conventional crisp intervals for the desired system characteristics, determined with a set of parametric nonlinear programs using their membership functions. A numerical example is solved successfully to illustrate the practicality of the proposed approach. Because the system characteristics are governed by the membership functions, more information is provided for use by management, and because the redundant system is extended to the fuzzy environment, general repairable systems are represented more accurately and the analytic results are more useful for designers and practitioners.

Reliability analysis of a warm standby repairable system with priority in use

In this paper, a warm standby repairable system consisting of two dissimilar units and one repairman is studied. In this system, it is assumed that the working time distributions and the repair time distributions of the two units are both exponential, and unit 1 is given priority in use. After repair, both unit 1 and unit 2 are “as good as new”. Moreover, the transfer switch in the system is unreliable, and the function of the switch is: “as long as the switch fails, the whole system fails immediately”. Under these assumptions, using Markov process theory and the Laplace transform, some important reliability indexes and some steady state system indexes are derived. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the theoretical results of the model.     

A multiple warm standby system with operational and repair times following phase-type distributions

We study a warm standby n-unit system. The system functions as long as there is one operative unit. When the unit online fails, a unit in standby becomes the new unit online, if any. When a unit fails it goes to repair. There is a repairman. The units are repaired following the arrival order. The unit online has a lifetime governed by a phase-time distribution. The repair times follow a phase-type distribution. The warm standby units have lifetimes exponentially distributed. All the other times are negligible. This system extends many others of frequent use in the literature. We show that this system is governed by a level-dependent quasi-birth-and-death process (LDQBD process). The availability, rate of occurrence of failures and other magnitudes of interest are calculated. The mathematical expressions are algorithmically and computationally implemented, using the Matlab programme.     

A deteriorating system with its repairman having multiple vacations

This paper considers a repairable system with a repairman, who can take multiple vacations. If the system fails and the repairman is on vacation, it will wait for repair until the repairman is available. Assume that the system cannot be repaired “as good as new” after failures. Under these assumptions, using the geometric process and the supplementary variable technique, some important reliability indexes are derived, such as the system reliability, availability, rate of occurrence of failures, etc. According to the renewal reward theorem, the explicit expression of the expected profit per unit time is obtained. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate that there exists an optimal replacement policy N∗, which maximizes the value of the expected profit rate after a long time run.     

Bilevel control of degraded machining system with warm standbys, setup and vacation

In this paper, we study (N, L) switch-over policy for machine repair model with warm standbys and two repairmen. The repairman (R₁) turns on for repair only when N-failed units are accumulated and starts repair after a set up time which is assumed to be exponentially distributed. As soon as the system becomes empty, the repairman (R₁) leaves for a vacation and returns back when he finds the number of failed units in the system greater than or equal to a threshold value N. Second repairman (R₂) turns on when there are L(>N) failed units in the system and goes for a vacation if there are less than L failed units. The life time and repair time of failed units are assumed to be exponentially distributed. The steady state queue size distribution is obtained by using recursive method. Expressions for the average number of failed units in the queue and the average waiting time are established.

Stability analysis of a new kind n-unit series repairable system

In this paper, we deal with a new model of an n-unit series repairable system, in which a concept of a repairman with multiple-delayed vacation is introduced and the impact on the system reliability due to a replaceable facility is also considered. This paper is devoted to studying the unique existence and stability of the system solution. C₀-semigroup theory is used to prove the existence of a unique nonnegative time-dependent solution of the system. Then by analyzing the spectra distribution of the system operator, we prove that the dynamic solution of the system asymptotically converges to the nonnegative steady-state solution which is the eigenfunction corresponding to eigenvalue 0 of the system operator. Furthermore, we discuss the exponential stability of the system in a special case. Some reliability indices of the system are also studied and the optimal vacation time is analyzed at the end of the paper.     

Availability and failure frequency of a Gnedenko system

This paper considers anN-unit series system supported by a warm standby unit and a single repair facility. Suppose that the operating units and the standby unit have constant failure ratesa anda ₁, respectively. When the system is down, all the operable units have constant failure ratea ₂. The repair time of a failed unit has an arbitrary distribution. Using Takács' method and a Markov renewal process, we discuss the stochastic behavior of this system and obtain the explicit formulae of the system availability and failure frequency.Project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
