Benefits

• Provides a wide range of system metrics, including Failure Rate, MTBF, MTTF, Reliability, and Availability, among others

  Supported Calculations: Failure Rate MTBF MTTF Reliability Availability Expected number of failures Optimize spares Optimize preventive maintenance intervals Total downtime Hazard rate Operational availability Steady-state availability Cost of initial configuration Cut sets Path sets

• Model your complete operational profile using phase modeling
• Specify a calculation goal: minimize costs, maximize reliability, or maximize capacity
• Assign costs to various capacity levels
• Simulation log visually represents failures over time as each simulation is performed
• Analyzes your diagram to determine the best approach: analytical solutions, simulations, or both
• Accounts for onsite and offsite repairs and spares, discard units, and repair resources
• Designate rules for spares allocations, repair team personnel, and partial vs. perfect repairs
• Define maintenance plans including time interval, cost, and type of maintenance
• Supports load-sharing and block dependency diagramming
• Store all or part of a block diagram for future use
• Supports a wide range of configuration types and distributions

  Supported Configuration Types: Series Parallel operation Hot standby Cold standby Warm standby Redundant Bridge k-out-of-n Generic and random network Load-sharing redundancy

  Supported Distributions: Exponential Normal Lognormal Weibull Rayleigh Uniform Time independent Constant time
