Abstract |
|
|
| This paper is concerned with the analysis of a stochastic model of bread making system. The system consists of five different subsystems namely- Mixer, DRR (Divider, Rounder and Roller), Proofer, Oven and Tunnels connected in series configuration. To make the system more reliable an additional mixer unit of similar nature is also taken in parallel configuration with the concerned sub-system. Taking constant failure and general repair rates for each sub-system several measures of system effectiveness such as reliability, MTSF, steady-state availability, busy period and expected profit etc. useful to industrial managers are obtained by using regenerative point technique. The MTSF and profit function have also been studied through graphs with respect to various parameters in a particular case. |
