Abstract

When designing a multifunctional system consisting of many components performing many functions or missions, it is important to determine the reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) of the system and components, and we consider system availability to be the optimization criterion. For given intervals of mean time between failure (MTBF) and mean time to repair (MTTR) of the components, we want to determine the values of MTBF and MTTR for all components that satisfy the target availability. A heuristic method is proposed for finding near-optimal solutions through simulation. We also study numerical examples to check effects of model parameters on the optimal solutions.

많은 기능 또는 임무를 수행하는 다수의 부품들로 구성되어 있는 다기능 시스템 개발에 있어 시스템과 부품의 신뢰도(reliability), 가용도(availability) 그리고 정비도(maintainability)를 결정하는 것은 설계 단계에서의 중요한 일이다. 본 논문에서는 시스템을 구성하고 있는 최하위 부품을 대상으로 개발기준의 시스템 목표가용도(target availability)를 만족하는 각 구성품의 MTBF 와 MTTR 을 결정하고자 한다. 대안 생성을 위해 휴리스틱 기법(heuristic method)을 개발하였으며, 각 대안의 시스템 가용도와 수명주기비용을 계산하기 위해 시뮬레이션을 이용한다. 그리고 수치예제를 통해 모형매개변수의 영향을 알아 본다.
