The diagram below identifies the elements of service as provided by a soft drink vending machine. Each element has an estimate of its own reliability, independent of the others. What is the reliability of the "system"?
A furnace thermostat has a constant failure rate of one failure per 25 months and a mean time to repair of four hours.,
Please answer last 3 subparts
a) What is the thermostate reliablity after 12 months? After 24 months? After 36 months?
b) What is the availablity?
c) Should a design team try to streamline the repair process to reduce the MTTR? Explain. Does the location of the furnace matter?
d.) Given a reliability target of 99 % ,what combination of mu,µ,and time ,t
,values will suffice? You must do at least two different combinations of µ and t
Consider Solved Problem 17.2 given in the textbook. If the reliability of each and every component shown in R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are reduced by 15% (for example, R2 becomes 0.8), calculate the total reliability of the system. As done in the solved example, be sure to show all steps. NOTE: You should not redraw the diagram.

- Elizabeth Irwin's design team has proposed the following system with component reliabilities as indicated: R2=0.88 R1=0.92 R4=0.92 R3=0.88 The overall reliability of the proposed system = % (enter your response as a percentage rounded to two decimal places). Hint: The system functions if either R2 or R3 work.arrow_forwardA production line has three machines A, B, and C, with reliabilities of .99, .96, and .93, respectively. The machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. Engineersare weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line’s reliability. Plan 1 involves addingan identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. In either case,three machines (A, B, and C) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three.a.
