Abstract
The present paper addresses the reliability modeling of a three-unit soft biscuit-making system. The system under consideration consists of three units, namely the mixer, depositor, and oven. Depositor and oven are connected through the same conveyor belt, so if there is a failure in either of them then another will be in a down state. On the other hand, the mixer works as a separate unit that provides feed to the depositor. However, the mixer can also be in a down state if the failures of either depositor or oven are not repaired within the stipulated time. Two repair personnel are appointed to handle the failures associated with the units. The system is assessed by employing the semi-Markov process and regenerative point technique. Additionally, relevant measures of system effectiveness are derived, accompanied by a comprehensive sensitivity analysis to assess the impact of various parameters on the system’s performance. Graphical representations are employed to visually analyze the influence of these parameters on the system’s overall efficiency.
期刊介绍：
This Journal is established with a view to cater to increased awareness for high quality research in the seamless integration of heterogeneous technologies to formulate bankable solutions to the emergent complex engineering problems.
Assurance engineering could be thought of as relating to the provision of higher confidence in the reliable and secure implementation of a system’s critical characteristic features through the espousal of a holistic approach by using a wide variety of cross disciplinary tools and techniques. Successful realization of sustainable and dependable products, systems and services involves an extensive adoption of Reliability, Quality, Safety and Risk related procedures for achieving high assurancelevels of performance; also pivotal are the management issues related to risk and uncertainty that govern the practical constraints encountered in their deployment. It is our intention to provide a platform for the modeling and analysis of large engineering systems, among the other aforementioned allied goals of systems assurance engineering, leading to the enforcement of performance enhancement measures. Achieving a fine balance between theory and practice is the primary focus. The Journal only publishes high quality papers that have passed the rigorous peer review procedure of an archival scientific Journal. The aim is an increasing number of submissions, wide circulation and a high impact factor.
