A MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO ANALYZING THE TRANSIENT AND STEADY STATE AVAILABILITY IN A COMPLEX SYSTEM

Zeenat ZAIDI

Abstract


This paper outlines a methodology for analyzing the availability of a complex system within the printing industry under both transient and steady-state conditions. The study utilizes a transition diagram to develop a mathematical model of the system. Differential equations governing the system are derived using the Markov approach. The matrix method is implemented in C+ programming to determine the availability of intricate systems with continuous failure and repair rates. The study investigates the impact of failure and repair rates on the long-term availability of various subsystems. Furthermore, this research adopts a multidisciplinary approach, integrating techniques from engineering, mathematics, computer science, data visualization, management, and broader system analysis.
