The paper presents performance analysis of a rod breakdown system consisting of two machines operating in parallel. Ten years maintenance data of the system depicts three maintenance practices: repair, major preventive maintenance and minor preventive maintenance. Machines are repaired on normal failures, whereas major/minor preventive maintenance is carried out at scheduled basis. The machines are queued for major preventive maintenance. An operative machine requires a cooling period of half hour before undergoing major preventive maintenance. Repair is prioritized over major preventive maintenance. The system is analysed using semi-Markov processes and regenerative point techniques. Performance indices namely mean time to system failure, system availability, no. of system repairs and busy period of the repairman are obtained. Simulated results are presented to demonstrate the effect of varying failure/repair rates on the system performance.

In this paper, a numerical method is proposed for the reliability analysis of serial processes in the feeding system of a sugar plant. The feeding system is a complex system and comprises of four repairable sub-systems viz. cutting system, crushing system, bagasse carrying system and heat generating system arranged in series or parallel configurations. Three sub-systems namely cutting system, bagasse carrying system and heat generating system are supported by standby units with perfect switch over devices. Mathematical modeling of the system based on Markov birth-death process is carried out to derive Chapman-Kolmogorov differential equations. These equations are solved by using the proposed method i.e. an adaptive step-size control Runge-Kutta method. The longrun availability, reliability and mean time between failures (MTBF) for the system are computed for performance analysis of the system. These results are presented and discussed with the plant personnel to adopt and practice suitable maintenance policies/strategies to enhance the performance of the feeding system of sugar plant.Keywords Markov birth-death process Á Chapman-Kolmogorov differential equations Á Reliability Á Long-run availability Á MTBF

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to propose a method to compute RAMD indices to measure and improve the performance of skim milk powder production system of a dairy plant under real working conditions. Design/methodology/approach -The present work is carried out by developing performance model based on Markov birth-death process. The skim milk powder production system consists of six units. The first order governing differential equations are derived using the mnemonic rule and further solved to calculate RAMD indices i.e. reliability, availability, maintainability, dependability, MTBF, MTTR and dependability ratio for each subsystem of the system. Findings -The subsystem SS1 comprising of chiller and cream separator is the most critical from maintenance point of view, as the reliability, availability, maintainability, dependability, MTBF and dependability ratio indices are low as compared to those of other subsystems of skim milk powder production system of the dairy plant. Originality/value -The RAMD indices of the present work is very useful for finding the critical subsystem and its effect on the performance of the system working under real working conditions. Further, based on findings the maintenance priorities for various subsystems can be decided.
