Track: Reliability and Maintenance
Abstract
Abstract:
This paper critically investigates the various factors which influence the overall availability of the manufacturing plant. It also describes the different RAM tools, techniques and methods which are qualitative, quantitative and commercially available software(s) to support RAM studies and the integrated current approaches in conceptual process design. A number of concerned literatures taken from the last few decades that provide a detailed survey of topics including reliability-availability analysis methods. In the last section of paper, an attempt is also made to give directive model for researcher on focused area using an optimal reliability tools under certain resource constraints.
Key words: RAM Tools, Complex Process, Decision support system, Simulation.
