A comparison of several attribute sampling plans

The purpose of this research is to examine several types of procedures for attribute sampling inspection-the widely used Military Standard 105D plans [8], the lesser known Double Zero plans as developed by Ellis [4] and the Narrow Limit gaging plans of Ott and Mundel [9]. Each of the procedures is described with an effort made to illuminate their more subtle features. Then the plans are compared, whence it is revealed that (i) Narrow Limit gaging plans have a serious weakness in comparison to the others and (ii) Double Zero plans tend to be essentially conservative, but that sufficiently tight Military Standard 105D plans can be selected to achieve comparable performance in all ways.     

Some comparison results of system availability

System availability is a measure which is used to evaluate the performance of a system which can be in one of the two states: operational or nonoperational. It indicates the proportion of the time the system is available to perform its function. This paper discusses the concepts of stable point availability, stable interval availability, and long-run availability for the case of complete/minimal repair. Comparisons of these measures are made based on stochastic orderings and classifications of lifetime distributions. These comparisons are useful in determining policies for improving or maximizing the proportion of time the system is operational. The effect of using a burn-in procedure for maximizing these measures is also discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Naval Research Logistics 45: 205–218, 1998

Compound availability measures

An availability measure is the probability that a two-state system modeled by an alternating renewal process is available at one or more points or intervals. The concept of availability measures is extended to formulae for the joint prediction of availability and numbers of breakdowns (or repairs) of the system during a fixed interval.     

A two-state system with partial availability in the failed state

A generalization of the alternating renewal model of a repairable system to permit partial availability in the failed state is introduced. It is shown how, by making use of an embedded alternating renewal process, we can readily derive expressions for various measures of system availability. Expressions for the point availability of the generalized process are presented.     

Bounds on the availability function

This paper gives bounds on the availability function for an alternating renewal process with exponential failure and general repair times. A bound on the error is also given. Several of the bounds with greatest practical consequence are worked out and illustrated. Repair distributions for which a lower bound on availability is easily computed are gamma (integer shape parameter), log normal, and Weibull. Finally, some simulation results for log normal repair versus gamma repair are given.     

可修复型备件满足率的适用方案研究

在离散状态空间的马尔科夫过程的基础上,对可修复型备件满足率模型进行了研究,分析了经典的保障概率模型在装备综合保障过程中所存在的弊端,在增加备件维修次数阈值条件的基础上对模型进行改进后得到了一种新的可修复型备件满足率模型。在备件数量较少(等于1时)的情况下,与经典模型对比,该模型的符合程度较好;当备件数量较多时(大于1时),设计了在ExtendSim仿真软件环境下的仿真模型,并用仿真模型来检验改进后备件满足率模型的正确性,通过对比分析表明:该改进的备件满足率模型能较好地评估可修复型备件满足率指标,相比经典模型和仿真模型,避免了复杂耗时的运算过程,能够方便而且高效地运用于装备综合保障任务当中。     

A comparison of usage data among types of aircraft

It has long been an accepted proposition that base level usage df technical repair items for aircraft is related to program elements. The program element most often cited in this connection is flying hours. Evidence of this relationship on a line item basis, however, has been sparse. This study suggests that although the supposed relation is intuitively plausible, for most line items it cannot be effectively utilized in projecting base level requirements. The basis of this conclusion is an analysis of demand characteristics for technical repair items for a variety of naval aircraft.

Tabular aids for fitting weibull moment estimates

Moment estimators for the parameters of the Weibull distribution are considered in the context of analysis of field data. The data available are aggregated, with individual failure times not recorded. In this case, the complexity of the likelihood function argues against the use of maximum-likelihood estimation, particularly for relatively large sets of data, and moment estimators are a reasonable alternative. In this article, we derive the asymptotic covariance matrix of the moment estimators, and provide listings for BASIC computer programs which generate tables useful for calculation of the estimates as well as for estimating the asymptotic covariance matrix using aggregated data.

System availability in a gamma alternating renewal process

We measure the effectiveness of a repairable system by the proportion of time the system is on, where on-time and off-times are assumed independent and both gamma-distributed. This measure is helpful for system planning and control in the short term, before the steady-state is reached, and its mean value is intermediary between instantaneous and steady-state availabilities. We also present other significant results concerning the Gamma Alternating Renewal Process. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Naval Research Logistics 46: 822–844, 1999     

On the availability of R out of N repairable systems

An R out of N repairable system consisting of N components and operates if at least R components are functioning. Repairable means that failed components are repaired, and upon repair completion they are as good as new. We derive formulas for the expected up‐time, expected down‐time, and the availability of the system, using Markov renewal processes. We assume that either the repair times of the components are generally distributed and the components' lifetimes are exponential or vice versa. The analysis is done for systems with either cold or warm stand‐by. Numerical examples are given for several life time and repair time distributions. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A comparison of waiting time approximations in series queueing systems

The determination of steady-state characteristics in systems of tandem queues has been left to computer simulation because of the lack of exact solutions in all but the simplest newtorks. In this paper, several methods developed for approximating the average waiting time in single-server queues are extended to systems of queues in series. Three methods, due to Fraker, Page, and Marchal, are compared along with results gathered through GPSS simulation. Various queueing networks with Erlangian service distributions are investigated.     

Damage functions and estimates of fratricide and collateral damage

There are multiple damage functions in the literature to estimate the probability that a single weapon detonation destroys a point target. This paper addresses differences in the tails of four of the more popular damage functions. These four cover the asymptotic tail behaviors of all monotonically decreasing damage functions with well‐behaved hazard functions. The differences in estimates of probability of kill are quite dramatic for large aim‐point offsets. This is particularly important when balancing the number of threats that can be engaged with the chances of fratricide and collateral damage. In general, analysts substituting one damage function for another may badly estimate kill probabilities in offset‐aiming, which could result in poor doctrine. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Civil wars and economic growth: A regional comparison

The paper examines the impact of civil wars on income per-capita growth at home and in neighbors for four regional groupings of countries: Africa, Asia, Latin America, and a pooled Asian and Latin American sample. Both macroeconomic and civil-war influences on growth differ by region. With the use of a distance measure, we demonstrate that the spatial reach from the negative consequences of a civil war are region and time period specific. Generally, there was less dispersion in Africa than in Asia and Latin America. Moreover, Africa demonstrates a greater ability to recover from the adverse effects of civil wars than the other regions tested.

Nonexistence of the maximum likelihood estimates in the weibull process

With incomplete data the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters of the Weibull process can only be obtained by solving the likelihood equations iteratively. In this article we show that the solution of the likelihood equations may lie outside of the parameter space if none of the processes can be observed from time zero.
