In this paper, mission cost and reliability of 1-out-of-N: G nonrepairable warm standby
systems with imperfect switching are modeled and analyzed using an iterative method. A …

Selective maintenance is extensively implemented in industrial and military environments.
With it, a subset of feasible maintenance actions may be strategically selected for a …

The redundancy allocation problem has been extensively studied with the aim of
determining optimal redundancy levels of components at various stages to achieve the …

In many industrial environments like manufacturing systems, military equipments, power
generation systems, etc., system maintenance is performed between successive missions …

The reliability, availability and maintainability (RAM) modelling of safety equipment has long
been a topic of major concern. Some RAM models have focused on explicitly addressing the …

Abstract A Markovian Arrival Process with Marked arrivals is used to model a discrete-time
complex warm standby multi-state system in a well-structured way. The online unit is subject …

Redundant components stored in the standby mode degrade over time due to harsh
environmental conditions. A proper inspection and maintenance plan is, therefore, required …

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate a tactical approach to cope with the
issues related to low availability of repairable machines or systems because of their poor …

In any redundant system, the state of the standby unit is usually taken to be hot, warm or
cold. In this paper, we present a new model of a two unit standby system wherein the …

Safety-instrumented systems (SISs) have been widely installed to lower risks of
equipment/process by performing the designed safety functions in cases of demands. Final …
