Reliability Analysis of a Repairable Parallel Multi State System Based onPhase Type Distribution
Vidhya G Nair , M. Manoharan
Abstract

Phase type distribution has been considered very useful for analytical modeling in the study of multi state reliability systems. It can be used to describe extensive random phenomena because of its versatility. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate usefulness of phase type distribution in the evaluation of reliability analysis of repairable parallel multi state system with single repair facility. Here, we take a little bit of effort to show how effective the phase type distribution is in reliability analysis. Steady state probability vector and steady state availability are evaluated through simple algebraic formalism. Application of the model is illustrated with a numerical example.
