Reliability and Profit Evaluation of Textile Industry with Exponential Failure Time Distribution and Different Repair Strategies

Better management of the systems, reducing failures, enhancing reliability and availability, minimizing operational and maintenance costs are still challenging fields for industries. In this study, an attempt has been made to examine the profit behaviour of Textile Industry with single server subject to priority of a vital unit. The System consists of three non-identical units viz, Spinning (S), Weaving (W), Colouring and Finishing (Cf). Initially unit (S) is in functional state whereas the other two units are in ideal state. System fails only if all the units are in down state. Single server is available in the system to carry out the repair activities. The units acts as fresh as new one after repairment of the failed unit. Reliability measures are examined and arbitrary values are given to different failure and repair parameters to define the performance of various reliability characteristics explicitly.
