Purpose: Maintaining appropriate operational availability (Ao) is a key element of combat victory, but estimates vary according to estimation methods. The purpose of this study is to improve the accuracy of estimating operational availability by tracing the changes of the weapon system's failure rate, repair rate, and the level of logistic support. Methods: In order to track the change in the operating availability, the MDT (mean down time) is modeled by adding the repair time and the ALDT (administration and logistic delay time) to the service time. Results: Using the field data of the weapon system A operated by the ROKAF, the failure rate follows a non-homogeneous Poisson process that changes with time, and it is modeled considering the changing repair rate and the logistic support time. Conclusion: The accuracy of the analytical results was verified by comparing the actual operating data with the estimated availability. The results of this study can be used to track and evaluate the availability in a realistic situation where the failure rate and maintenance rate continuously change in operating environment.

One important measure of performance for a repairable system is steady-state availability. In this paper, a method to estimate and establish confidence interval for the steady-state availability under Weibull lifetime and lognormal repair time distributions is proposed. Also, bias and mean squared error of a point estimator for an availability are investigated. In addition, a procedure to derive the sample size and critical value for availability demonstration test is presented and illustrated with a numerical example.

Purpose: This paper presents an application of Markov Process to reliability and availability analysis. In order to do that of analysis, we set up a specific case of Tablet PC and it's usage scenario. The case has it some spares and maintenance and repair processes. Methods: Different configurations of the tablet PC and as well as their functions are defined. The system configuration and calculated failure rates of components are modeled from Windchill Quality Solution. Two models, without a spare and with spare, are created and compared using Markov Process. The Matlab numerical analysis is used to simulate and show the change of state with time. Availability of the system is computed by determining the time the system stays in different states. Results: The mission availability and steady-state condition availability in accordance with the mission are compared and the availability of the system with spares have improved availability than without spares. Simulated data shows that downtime of the system increased which results in greater availability through the consideration of spares. Conclusion: There's many techniques and methods to do reliability and availability analysis and mostly are time-independent assumptions. But Markov Process, even though its steady-state and ergodic properties, can do time analysis any given time periods.

This paper studies the impact of the maintenance time of anti-ship missile Harpoon on operational availability with real field data. The Harpoon maintenance simulation model is developed as a testbed for identifying the optimal inventory levels on operational availability. Using multiple linear regression analysis and integer programming, the optimal inventory levels of essential assemblies are suggested. Finally, the result of sensitivity analysis shows the quantitative impact of maintenance time on operational availability and inventory costs. The authors believe that this quantitative analysis can support policy decisions to decrease maintenance time of missiles.

This paper is to derive three reliability and eight maintainability measures after organizing total time. I propose inherent availability,.achieved availability and operational availability with the new and useful reliability and maintainability measures above. Especially, inherent availability measure extends the repairable system reliability models.

This paper deals with the reliability and availability characteristics of three different series system configurations with warm standby components and a repairable service station. The failure time of the primary and warm standby are assumed to be exponentially distributed with parameters ${\lambda}$ and ${\alpha}$ respectively. The repair time distribution of each server is also exponentially distributed with parameter ${\mu}$. The breakdown time and the repair time of the service station are also assumed exponentially distributed with parameters ${\gamma}$ and ${\beta}$ respectively. We derive the reliability dependent on time, availability dependent on time, the mean time to failure, $MTTF_i$, and the steady-state availability $A_i$(${\infty}$) for three configurations and perform comparisons. Comparisons are made for specific values of distribution parameters and of the cost of the components. The three configurations are ranked based on: $MTTF_i$, $A_i$(${\infty}$), and $C_i/B_i$ where $B_i$ is either $MTTF_i$ or $A_i$(${\infty}$).

I-Business의 고객과 서비스 제공자들은 사업을 성공으로 이끄는 최선의 방법으로 SLA(Service Level Agreement)를 제공해야 하며, SLA에 포함되어야할 기술적 파라미터로 서비스 가용성을 최우선으로 선정하였다. 이러한 결과들은 웹을 기반으로 한 서비스 제공자들에게 웹 서비스 가용성의 관리가 매우 중요함을 말해준다. 응용서비스 가용성은 사용자의 기대 성능을 유지하면서 제공되는 서비스의 비율로 정의된다. 하지만, 현재까지 웹 서비스 가용성을 측정하는 도구는 단순하게 웹 서비스의 중단 여부만을 판단하기 때문에 사용자의 기대 성능에 대한 요구를 반영하지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 응답시간에 기반한 웹 서비스의 성능저하의 경우를 고려하여 가용성을 측정하고, 불가용을 초래하는 요소가 무엇이며, 그 원인이 무엇인지 밝혀내는 방안을 제시한다. 연구의 결과로 측정도구 WebSerAvail를 개발하였다.

This paper presents an evaluation criteria of an information system availability for guaranteeing availability (service target level) from the perspective of the SLA contract and its technical point of view. In order to verify the effectiveness for information system failure and availability guarantee measures, three cases were examined. In summary, the failure time was reduced by 32% ~ 62% after applying the availability guarantee measure, verifying the excellence in the evaluation of an information system availability.
