Study on the reliability of hot standby repairable supply system based on Markov model

Abstract

Starting from the analysis of cooperation relations of members in the supply system, the paper studies the reliability of repairable supply system. Based on Markov model, a reliability evaluation method of repairable supply system is given. The transient and steady reliabilities of hot standby repairable supply system with a main supplier and a spare supplier are found. The conclusion is tested by a case study. The contribution is that it provides a quantitative method to increase the understanding of dynamic reliability of enterprise supply system.
