Analysis of a two-unit parellel redendant system with phase type failure and general repair
(2010-03-20)
Explicit expressions for the Laplace transform of the reliability and availability of a general two-unit parallel redundant system are obtained. The Mean time to system failure and steady state availability are deduced as ...
A note on (S,s) inventory policy
(2010-03-14)
This article obtains the stationary distribution of the stock level of a continuous review (S,s) Inventory policy with the following characteristics. The demand rate is a constant and unit quantity is demanded whenever ...
Correlation functions in reliability theory
(2010-03-13)
The point process induced by the stochastic behaviour of a two-unit warm standby redundant repairable system is studied. Expressions for the product densities of the events corresponding to the entry into each of the states ...
Analysis of two-unit parallel redundant system - a review
(2010-03-13)
Ever since Gaver (1963) made an attempt to analyse a two unit parallel redundant system, several attempts have been made by many applied probabilists, engineers to analyse two-unit parallel redundant systems. While various ...
Multi-item (S, s) inventory model with poisson demand general lead time and adjustable reorder time
(2010-07-22)
Stochastic Multiple Item Inventory System of (S, s) type is studied with general lead time distribution and Poisson demand. The demands occur according to Poisson process for one unit of a specific item at a time. The ...
