Abstract
The present paper is an attempt to analyze the availability of an operating compressor unit working in a milk plant. In a milk plant's refrigeration system compressor plays an important role. Any major failure or annual maintenance brings the operating unit to a complete halt. It has been observed that the unit can fail due to various types of failures which can be categorized as- serviceable type, repairable type and replaceable type. For availability analysis of the unit real failure as well as repair time data from a milk plant have been collected and measures of unit effectiveness i.e. availability and mean time to unit failure has been computed graphically as well as numerically by using semi-Markov process and regenerative point technique.
