Reliability Availability and Maintainability Analysis of the Systems

Abstract

In this paper, is to permit the system reliability analysts/managers/engineers/ practitioners to conduct RAM analysis of the system which may help them to model, analyze and predict the behavior of industrial systems in a more realistic and consistent manner. Markovian approach is used to model the system behavior. For carrying out study, Root Cause Analysis (RCA) of the subsystems is carried out and transition diagrams for various subsystems are drawn and differential equations associated with them are formulated. After obtaining the steady state solution the corresponding values of reliability and maintainability are estimated at different mission times. With RAM analysis of the system key performance metrics such as Mean Time between Failure (MTBF), Mean time to Repair Time (MTTR) and System availability values are ascertained.
