Benefits

• State transition diagramming tools can represent operational, degraded, and failed states, as well as the transitions between them
• Model even the most complex systems, including those with complicated repair or restart procedures, event-dependent failure or repair properties, or common-cause failures
• Model systems with a combination of complexities, including standby failures, included failure and shared load systems, and imperfect fault coverage
• Account for the consequences of switchover mechanisms, repair priorities, limited repair resources, and failure sequence dependency
• Consider associated costs in terms of currency, functionality, or throughput
• Supports a wide range of calculations, including MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures), MTTF (Mean Time to Failure), and MTTR (Mean Time to Repair)

  Sample Supported Processes: Availability Capacity Conditional failure intensity Conditional repair intensity Cost per unit time Failure density Failure frequency Failure rate Frequency of departures Frequency of transitions Frequency of visits Mean availability Mean capacity Mean cost Mean state probability Mean unavailability MTBF (Mean time between failures) MTTF/MTTFF (Mean time to first failure) MTTFSS (Mean time to failure, steady state) MTTR (Mean time to repair) Number of departures Number of failures Number of repairs Number of transitions Number of visits Reliability Repair frequency State probability Time spent in state Total capacity Total cost Total downtime Total uptime Unavailability Unreliability

• Interactive graphical editing functionality enables you to continue updating your model and quickly recalculate system metrics to view the results of your changes
