Spares Provisioning for Repairable Systems under Fleet Expansion

by Tang, Loon Ching; Liu, Xiao

This paper integrates reliability monitoring of repairable systems with strategies for spare provisioning when a fleet of repairable systems are acquired in stages, possibly over a few years. An application is presented through a MATLAB interface to.....

Optimal Spares Analysis for a Networking System Manufacturer

by Huffman, Duane L.; Crytzer, Ryan

In this paper, we show how this process was modeled using a software analysis tool that supports reliability block diagram (RBD) analysis with spares optimization. The easily configured model is capable of performing spares optimizations for multiple.....
