摘要：The Paper discusses the availability analysis of the ice cream making unit in milk plant. Here we consider three states of various components, good, reduced and failed. The failure and repair rates of each subsystem are assumed to be constant and statistically independent. Mathematical formulation of the system is done with the help of markov birth-death process. The various differential equations have been derived from state transition diagram. After that steady state probabilities are determined by using various combin ations of failure and repair rates. Based upon various performance level in terms of availability are obtained in decision matrices. The performance of each subsystem is analyzed and then maintenance strategies all subsystems. The model helps in evaluation of alternate maintenance strategies.
