This paper considers warranty servicing for repairable products when product lifetimes are phase-type(PH) distributions. Two replace-repair strategies are analyzed based on renwal processes. The quantities of interest can be expressed in terms of the renewal function which, in general, is very difficult to evaluate. By exploiting properties of PH distributions we obtain simplification to evaluate these performance measures. Numerical examples for four different PH distributions with typical functions are presented and the results are discussed.

The model of k-out-of n : G repairable system with identical components is extended to a repairable system with n different components. The objective is to analytically derive the mean time of the busy period for a k-out-of-n : G system with unrestricted repair. Then, the lower and upper bounds on the average time of the busy period of the n-component system with restricted repair are also shown.

This paper discusses the methods of determining optimal warranty period for repairable goods. The demand of the product is assumed to increase with the length of the warranty period. Good-as-new repair and minimal repair models are considered. The method of obtaining optimal warranty period is explored when the failure distribution is an exponential or a Weibull. The case of discounting all associated costs continuously over time is also considered.

This paper proposes free warranty interval for repairable items when the failure types of item are considered. Failure types are classified into major failure and minor failure. If major failure occurs during warranty period, the item is replaced and if minor failure occurs during warranty period, the item is minimally repaired. This paper determines the optimum free warranty interval which minimizes total expected cost of the free warranty cost model. Numerical example is shown in which failure time of item has weibull distribution.

We consider a multiechelon repairable-item inventory system where several bases are supported by a central depot and the external repair facilities. Unlike METRIC- based models, there are only a finite number of repair channels at each base, central depot and the external repair facilities. It is desired to find repair capacities and spares level which together guarantee a specified service level at minimum cost. Closed queueing network theory is used to model the stochastic process. The purpose of this paper is to derive the steady-state distributions of this system.

In this article an economic life test sampling plan is considered for repairable products when the products in each lot have the same interfailure time distribution, but the mean time between failure (MTBF) of a lot varies from lot to lot according to a known prior distribution. A cost model is constructed which consists of test cost, accept cost, and reject cost. Determination of the optimal plan which minimizes the expected average cost per lot is discussed. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the use of the proposed sampling plans and sensitivity analyses for parameters of the prior distribution are performed.

A hybrid warranty policy for a repairable item is considered. Assuming that minimal repairs ar e performed for failures during warranty period, present worth of warranty cost is derived from a supplier's viewpoint. An optimal preventive periodic replacement policy for the case is also derived from a user's viewpoint Numerical examples are presented in order to explain the results.

본 논문은 분산 저장 시스템에서 기존의 부분접속수를 일반화한 개념인 결합 부분접속수를 소개하고, 결합 부분접속수($r_1$=2, $r_2$=3 or 4)를 만족하는 부호 설계 방식을 제안한다. 결합 부분접속수란 다양한 수의 노드 손실을 복구하기 위해 필요한 노드 수 집합을 의미한다. 제안된 방식은 완전다분할그래프를 사용하여 부호 설계를 단순화한다. 또한 제안된 방식으로 임의의 양의 정수 t에 대해 (2,t)-가용도를 갖는 이진 부분접속복구 부호를 설계할 수 있다. 즉, 1개 노드 손실 시 t개의 서로소인 복구 집합으로부터 각각 복구가 가능하며, 이때 각 복구 집합의 크기는 최대 2이다. 이러한 성질은 핫 데이터의 병렬처리를 가능하게 하므로 분산 저장 시스템에서 중요한 의미를 갖는다.

A preventive maintenance model, caller FNBM($\alpha$, $\delta$, $\gamma$)model, is proposed to decide an optimal repair number under achieved availability requirements(r) along with taking two types of failures (repairable or irrepairable) into account. In this model, the current system is replaced by a new one in case when it doesn't meet the achieved availability requirement, even though it is repairable failure; Otherwise it is replaced in time of the first irrepairable failure. Assumed that the j-th failure is repairable with probability ${\alpha}_j$ minimal repairs are allowed for repairable failure between replacements. Expected cost rate for preventive maintenance model is developed using NHPP(Non-Homogeneous Poisson Process) in order to determine the optimal number $n^*$, also numerical examples are shown in order to explain the proposed model. Since the proposed FNBM($\alpha$, $\delta$, $\gamma$)model includes Park FNBM model(1979) and Nakagawa FNBM(p)model(1983) this proposed model is thought to be better than previous model, especially for weapon system which requires availability as primary parameter.

In the design of production system, buffer capacity allocation is a major step. Through polymorphism analysis of production capacity and production capability, this paper investigates a buffer allocation optimization problem aiming at the multi-stage production line including unreliable machines, which is concerned with maximizing the system theoretical production rate and minimizing the system state entropy for a certain amount of buffers simultaneously. Stochastic process analysis is employed to establish Markov models for repairable modular machines. Considering the complex structure, an improved vector UGF (Universal Generating Function) technique and composition operators are introduced to construct the system model. Then the measures to assess the system's multi-state reliability and structural complexity are given. Based on system theoretical production rate and system state entropy, mathematical model for buffer capacity optimization is built and optimized by a specific genetic algorithm. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by an application of an engine head production line.
