A key problem on the space station is how to minimize the expected backorder number with limited resources. In this paper, a multi-ECHELON inventory model for worn spare parts based on the METRIC (Multi-ECHELON technology for recoverable items control) model was proposed to solve this problem. First, the principle of the METRIC model was analyzed and some of the hypotheses of the traditional METRIC model were adapted to form a new METRIC model known as GENE-METRIC Next, the marginal analysis method was applied to find the optimal position and number of spare parts needed. Finally, a numerical example was given to illustrate the use of the new GENE-METRIC model. The paper argued that the new GENE-METRIC model could provide a quantifiable approach to confirm the stock level of worn spare parts and could therefore be used to inventory and allocate the worn spare parts as needed for the Chinese Space Station.","PeriodicalId":347031,"journal":{"name":"2016 11th International Conference on Reliability, Maintainability and Safety (ICRMS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128693541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We predicted the degradation value of the closing time of measured data in a relay accelerated storage test by using a variety of grey models and GANN models. By comparing several forecasting methods, the results showed the proposed grey neural network model has higher precision and is more accurate than a single grey model.

Under such a situation, a scheme to locate the faults in complex software more effectively has been proposed in this paper based on networks community theory. First, on the base of establishing the dependency network of every module in software, dependency relationships between various community blocks can be obtained by applying clustering algorithms to mine the community structure. Second, with status reports generated by monitoring-codes planted into the center node of every community, we can distinguish whether communities work in a normal way, thus the fault searching area can be shrunk smaller by repeating the steps above. Third, once the searching area has been shrunk to several modules, the traditional methods like Tarantula is eligible for finding the fault since the number of suspected codes has been compressed to an acceptable level. At last, the experiment by applying the method we come up has been conducted and the statistic has been collected as well as analyzed to compare with the main-trend solutions, during which the speed superiorities and acceptable accuracy of our method have been confirmed.","PeriodicalId":347031,"journal":{"name":"2016 11th International Conference on Reliability, Maintainability and Safety (ICRMS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131578535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The AGREE method is one of the most applicable methods to achieve system reliability allocation. However, when applied to some complex systems, this traditional method may become invalid. Firstly, the allocation results may become distorted and a computation method for the degree of importance is not proposed. Generally, this method can be only used for systems in series or parallel. To address these issues, the traditional AGREE allocation method needs to be modified. This paper proposes a novel degree computational method for complex system allocation whereby the traditional AGREE method is integrated with a mathematical model of system reliability. A framework for the new reliability allocation method is described. In practice, this novel method is used for the reliability allocation of a ship power system. A sensitivity analysis was conducted across several design requirements. The allocation results were verified, demonstrating the use in practical applications.","PeriodicalId":347031,"journal":{"name":"2016 11th International Conference on Reliability, Maintainability and Safety (ICRMS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132714009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To meet these requirements, a reliability-centered optimal design method for flight vehicle control system is put forward by integrating the reliability analysis into function and performance design. An air based flight vehicle is taken as an application example to illustrate the design method. The mission profile is firstly analyzed based on the mission requirements and the function demands are proposed as the design constraints. Based on this, the failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) method is introduced and used to identify the weak links in the system. According to the result of FMEA, an improved design scheme is proposed and proved to be effective in practice. It illustrates that the reliability-centered optimal design method can effectively improve the reliability level of the flight vehicle while ensuring that the functions and performance meet the requirements.","PeriodicalId":347031,"journal":{"name":"2016 11th International Conference on Reliability, Maintainability and Safety (ICRMS)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124770854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
