Abstract

Abstract: This study models the reliability, availability, and maintainability of a finite capacity Hr /M/1/N phase queueing system in working and working-breakdown states. The arrival times are distributed according to a Hyperexponential distribution with rparallel phases, whereas the service times are distributed according to an exponential distribution. The differential-difference equations for the transient states are derived from the state-transition diagram for different environmental states, as well as failure and recovery states. For the particular situation of N=4, these governing equations are solved numerically. Sensitivity Analysis was used to investigate RAM performance measures for various parametric variables.
