Availability and reliability of a manufacturing system are the most common indicators in the reliability engineering area to assess the quality and on-time deliveries of the products they produce. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the availability, reliability. failure metrics such as MTBF and MTTF, and also steady-state availability of a cooking oilproduction line using a Markov approach...

the problem of scheduling with multi agent has been studiedfor more than one decade and significant advances have been madeover the years. however, most work has paid more attention to the conditionthat machines are available during planning horizon. motivatedby the observations, this paper studies a two-agent scheduling modelwith multiple availability constraint. each agent aims at minimizing ...

Background Vietnam’s network of commune health centers (CHCs) have historically managed acute infectious diseases and implemented national disease-specific vertical programs. Vietnam has undergone an epidemiological transition towards non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Limited data exist on Vietnamese CHC capacity to prevent, diagnose, and treat NCDs. In this paper, we assess NCD service r...

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.
