The main aim of this study is to analyze the application of reliability, availability, maintainability and dependability in identification of most sensitive subsystem of evaporation system in sugar plant. For this analysis, transition diagram of all subsystems is drawn and respective Chapman-Kolmogorov differential equations are derived using Markov birth-death process. All failure and repair rates of each subsystem are exponentially distributed. Various measures of system effectiveness like mean time between failures, mean time to repair and dependability ratio for all the three subsystems are also computed. Sensitivity analysis of system reliability is also performed. The reliability and maintainability are estimated at various time instants. Analysis of all the subsystems shows that sulphited syrup is highly sensitive from reliability point of view. The derived measures are shared with system designers for their active deliberation.

In this paper, an effort has been made to formulate a mathematical model of A-pan crystallization system of a sugar plant using fuzzy reliability approach. The sugar plant comprises eight subsystems. A-pan crystallization system is one of the most important representative among sugar plant systems. The A-pan crystallization system has four subsystems arranged in a series. The configuration of first and second subsystems is 2-out-of-2: G with two cold standby while third and fourth subsystems are in single-unit configuration. A mathematical model has been proposed by considering exponential distribution for failure and repair rates. By considering fuzzy reliability approach and Markov birth-death model differential equations have been derived. These equations are then solved by Runge-Kutta method of fourth order using MATLAB (Ode 45 function) to obtain the fuzzy availability. The results of the proposed model are beneficial for system designers.

“…Kadyan and kumar (2015) studied feeding system in the sugar industry with the help of a supplementary variable technique where failure rates follows an exponential distribution while repair rates are arbitrarily distributed. Kadyan and Kumar (2017) discussed the availability based operational behaviour of B-Pan crystallization system in a sugar plant. It is observed, that a lot of studies carried out for performance evaluation of sugar plants, but all these studies consider only two states of the system either operative or failed.…”

Feeding system is an important unit in sugar manufacturing plants. It comprises with the help of six components, namely unloader, cane carrier, crushing unit, bagasse carrier unit, boiler and turbine. All these components are connected in series configuration and some components also have internal redundancy such as unloader is composed in 1-out-of-2: G and turbine 1-out-of-2: G with one standby structures. All these components generally show constant behaviour during repair and failure. So, here all failure and repair rates are considered as exponentially distributed. To fulfill the main objective of the present study, a mathematical model is developed for feeding system and C-K differential equations have been developed for fuzzy availability and profit analysis. In case of imperfect fault detection concept of coverage factor is also used. Numerical results also obtained for a particular case to highlight the importance of the study. This study will be helpful for system designers and management to enhance the productivity.
