1- Introduction
In the present scenario of global viable market, the basic objectives of industries is to reduce the production cost and enhance the productivity of manufacturing systems of processing Industries. To meet the increasing demand of the society, the industries must offer long term production. The efficiency and accessibility of industry can be made profitable in terms of higher production and lower maintenance costs. Availability of complex systems can be improved by considering different techniques of reliability like maintenance, inspection, repairs, priority to repair of the failed unit and so on. In addition, these techniques in industrial design can substantially strengthen operational dependability through better system design. A very trivial change in the technique of reliability can cause a profound change in the operational dependability, that is why it is vital to specify model reliability targets before any strategy plan is taken into consideration .
There are systems where upon failure in a complex system the repair of a component is given preference over the other component depending upon the significance of the component. Such systems are called priority systems. When a unit of lower priority is under repair and a unit of higher priority arrives for repair, the lower priority unit is pre-empted and higher priority unit is repaired. After completion of the service of higher priority unit, the lower higher priority unit is given service. In reliability modeling, it is found that accessibility and performance of failed and repairable systems can be enriched using redundancy technique. But due to the high cost, it is not always possible to keep the unit as spare. Also, it sometimes becomes essential to prioritize one unit over the other to increase performance, availability and hence the efficiency of the system. The idea of priority in repair discipline in reliability modeling has been considered by various authors researchers in order to make the system available for required service with least possible operational cost.
Kumar et al. [2] obtained reliability analysis of a warm standby model performing in normal/abnormal environment under certain assumptions where the distribution of failure time has been taken as negative exponential and the repair, inspection and replacement time distribution has been taken as arbitrary. Chander [11] discussed the two non-identical reliability models in which the failure and repair time of each unit were independent and uncorrelated random variables. The author obtained the various reliability measures using Regenerative Point Technique (R.P.T ). Also, Zhang Wang [15] studies a cold standby system with priority in use and repair. Malik et al. [12] studied cost- benefit analysis of a model under and gave priority to repair and degradation. The numerical and graphical behaviour of important reliability measures has been obtained for arbitrary values of costs and parameter. Further, Kadyan et al. [6] considered reliability performance of model under priority to repair and degradation. The authors obtained the availability and profit of the system using Regenerative point technique (RPT). Sureria and Malik [5], Malik [13] analyzed computer system with priority to software replacement over hardware replacement and obtained the reliability and economic measures of computer system under certain assumptions. The model has been analyzed stochastically by using R.P.T and the results of the model has been compared with the existing model. Chib et al. [3] assumed two types of repair facilities for stochastic analysis of two unit priority system. Rathee and Chander [9] carried out the reliability analysis of parallel system in which he gave priority to repair over maintenance. Munday and Malik[14] obtained profit analysis of a Computer System with Priority for hardware redundancy and repair. Recently Kumar et al. [4] studied profit analysis of computer systems with priority and maximum operation time. The author gave priority to software upgradation over hardware repair and replacement and hence obtained the profit of the system. The profit of the system has been compared with some existing model in literature. Also Bashir et al. [7] used the technique of inspection of degraded unit and obtained cost analysis of two unit model. Gorjian Jolfaei [8] carried out reliability analysis of power generation engines in a wastewater treatment plant. Kumar and Malik [1] examines the weathering server system with identical element in warm standby and used the concept of first come first serve repair policy for redundant systems in weather conditions. The various reliability measures of the system has been obtained using R.P.T. The author proved that the concept of first come first serve repair policy proved to be economically beneficial. Sharma and joorel [10] developed a model for fruit juice manufacturing system for its reliability analysis, which consists of four non identical units viz. Fruit cutter, Fruit pulper, Sterlizer and Homogenizer. The author used the concept of emergency repair in which the team of experts is available on the failure of Sterlizer or Homogenizer, to carry out the failure activities. [16] Obtained the reliability of two unit cold standby model under the assumption that the system is operating under different weather conditions and gave priority to preventive maintenance over inspection. To determine the nature of the system, various system effectiveness has been obtained using regenerative point technique and semi markov process. [17] Analysed the concrete mixture plant which comprises of seven units subject to the coverage factor by considering profust reliability approach which is based on probability assumption as well as fuzzy state assumption. The performance analysis of the system has been done using Markov birth–death model and differential equations solved by Runge–Kutta method. The results of the proposed model have proved beneficial for system designers. [18] have made an effort to obtain the system performance of sewage treatment plant by using markovian birth-death process. Various system measures like reliability, availability, maintainability and obtainability of the system has been obtained. [19] explored the generators in steam turbine power plant and obtained the availability and profit of generators. Using supplementary variable technique amd markov birth-death process different system measures has been evaluated. Results of the system have been obtained for availability and profit that would be useful for system designers to enrich the reliability and thus performance of plant
The basic aim of the paper is to obtain the profit evaluation of textile industry with exponential failure time distribution subject to different repair strategies. The System consists of three non-identical components Spinning (S), Weaving (W), Coloring and Finishing (Cf). Initially unit S is in working mode whereas unit W and Cf are in idle state. Failure of the system occurs only if all the unit fails. Single server is available in the system to carry out repair activities and Cf gets first priority over repair followed by S and W. The failure time (FT) ~ exp. (
). The repair time distribution is taken as general.
