Abstract:- In this paper Behavioral Analysis of a two units system with preventive maintenance on both units and

degradation in one unit after Complete Failure and the other unit with perfect repair using Regenerative Point

Graphical Technique (RPGT) is discussed.

Introduction: - In this paper Behavioral Analysis of a two units system with preventive maintenance

on both units and degradation in one unit after Complete Failure and the other unit with perfect

repair using Regenerative Point Graphical Technique (RPGT) is discussed. Such systems are

available in a number of process industries.Considering the importance of individual units in system

Kumar, J. & Malik, S. C. [1] have discussed the concept of preventive maintenance for a single unit

system. Liu., R. [2], Malik, S. C. [3], Nakagawa, T. and Osaki, S. [4] have discussed reliability

analysis of a one unit system with un-repairable spare units and its applications. Goel, P. & Singh J.

[5], Gupta, P., Singh, J. & Singh, I.P. [6], Kumar, S. & Goel, P. [7], Gupta, V. K. [8], Chaudhary,

Goel & Kumar [9] Sharma & Goel [10], Ritikesh & Goel [11] and Goyal & Goel [12] have discussed

behavior with perfect and imperfect switch-over of systems using various techniques. Both units A &

B have parallel sub units so it can work in reduced capacity as well as in full capacity. The unit A

can fail from normal mode to complete failure directly or via partial failure, whereas unit B can fail

can through partial mode only. Both units have preventive maintenance facility. Most of the systems

have a number of units and one of these units may be important for working of system, hence need

more care over other units. Further, there are units which may not be repaired to their original

capacity after complete failure. Since the capability of unit after repair depends on the repair

mechanism adopted and unit may have increased failure rate on subsequent failures. The system may

go under imperfect repair on complete failure and unit is degraded but operative state is obtained

again and again. Server inspects and repairs the unit as and when need arise. After a limiting

situation, when no further repair is possible, then system is replaced by new one.

Initially the two units A & B are working at full capacity in which unit A and B may have two types

of failures one is direct and second one is through partial failure mode, but unit B cannot fail directly.

There is a single server (repairman) who inspects and repairs the units as and when need arise. On

partial failure (before complete failure) server repairs the unit and on complete failure the unit A

cannot be restored to its original capacity i.e. it is in degraded state.Repair of Unit B is perfect. Fuzzy

concept is used to determine failure/working state of a unit. If the server report, that unit A is not

repairable, then it is replaced by a new one. Taking failure rates exponential, repair rates general and

taking into consideration various probabilities, a transition diagram of the system is developed to

determine Primary circuits, Secondary circuits & Tertiary circuits and Base state. Problem is

formulated and solved using RPGT. Repair and Failure are statistically independent. Expressions for

system parameters i.e. mean time to system failure, availability, number of server visits and busy

period of the server are evaluated to study the behavior of the system for steady state. Particular

cases are taken to study the effect of failure and repair rates on mean time to system failure,

availability, expected number of server visits and busy period of the server. Profit optimization is

also discussed. System behavior is discussed with the help of graphs and tables.

Assumptions and Notations: - The following assumptions and notations are taken: -

1. A single repair facility is available.

2. The distributions of failure times and repair times are exponential and general respectively and

also different.

3. Repair of unit A is imperfect and repaired unit is not good as new on complete failure. Whereas

repair of unit B is perfect.

4. Both Units A and B are subjected to Preventive Maintenance.

5. Nothing can fail when the system is in failed state.

6. The system is discussed for steady-state conditions.

7. Replacement of Un-repairable unit and repair facility is immediate.

8. Unit A can fail directly and through partial failure but unit B can fail through partial failure only.

9. Failures and repairs are statistically independent.

10. The system fails and any of the units fails.

to any other regenerative state ‘i’ through one or more non-regenerative states, given

that the system entered the regenerative state ‘i’ at t = 0.

From this, we see that primary circuits in state ‘0’ and 3 are same. But state ‘0’ has lesser number of

secondary and tertiary circuits therefore base state’ ξ’ =’ 0.’

Taking ni = μi ,i = 0, using value we get

Now we discuss special cases D when λi = λ for i = 1, 2 ,4 and wi = w, i = 1,2,4 and repair rate after

degradation is given by recurrence relation.

λn = (1+α)λn-1,where α→ degradation parameter depending upon following conditions.

1. The working environment of system, in which unit A is working.

2. The mechanism of repair or preventive maintenance adopted by the server.

3. The number of intervals for which the system goes under preventive maintenance.

4. The material or strength of material used for manufacturing the unit:

Here we take λn-1 = 0.2 (for first time) then α = 0.5, λn = (1+0.5)0.2, λn = 0.3

T0 = N / D, where D = λ-{3w(2w+λ)}/5(λ+w)2

PROFIT FUNCTION OF THE SYSTEM

Profit analysis of the system can be done by using the profit function

P0 = C1A0 – C2B0 – C3V0

Where C1 = Revenue per unit time the system is available

C2 = Cost per unit time the server remain busy for the repair.

C3 = Cost of visit of the server.

Conclusion: - From the tables and analytical discussions, we see that increase in the repair rate (w)

increases the availability of the system and the mean time to system failure, whereas increase in failure

rate decrease the availability and mean time to system which should be so practically. We also see

from the expression of busy period of server that when we increase the repair rate busy period of

server decrease and when we increase the failure rate then busy period of server also increase. Also

from expression for expected number of inspections by the repair man we see that when we increase

the repair rate the expected number of inspections by repairman increase and when we increase the

failure rate then the expected number of inspections by repairman is also increase. In future,

Researchers can evaluate the parameters, when repair rate sand failure rate are variable and also

discuss the cost and profit benefit analysis. Further results can also be applied to find the waiting time

of units and number of server visits, as if the states where the server is on prime visit or on a secondary

visit are determined separately using the formula. Since the cost of secondary visit is usually less than

primary visit of server, therefore the system can be run with low maintenance cost. Various system

parameters can also be evaluated taking any state as base state. As failure rates are beyond control, so

determine the repair rates and reduce the fixing the target of availability management can cost of

maintenance. The Regenerative Point Graphical Technique is useful to evaluate the key parameters of

the system in a simple way, without writing any state equations and without doing any lengthy and

cumbersome calculations.
