This paper presents & evaluates composite importance measures (CIM) for multi-state systems with components (MSMC). Importance are important tools to evaluate rank the impact of individual within a system. For systems, previously developed do not meet all user needs. The major focus study is distinguish between two types which can be used evaluating criticality in MSMC respect system reliability. Type 1 that involved measuring how specific component affects A Monte Carlo (MC) simulation...
Given the ubiquitous nature of infrastructure networks in today's society, there is a global need to understand, quantify, and plan for resilience these disruptions. This work defines network along dimensions reliability, vulnerability, survivability, recoverability, quantifies as function component performance. The treatment vulnerability recoverability random variables leads stochastic measures resilience, including time total system restoration, full service specific α% resilience....
The COVID-19 pandemic brought unforeseen challenges that could forever change the way societies prioritize and deal with public health issues. approaches to contain spread of virus have entailed governments issuing recommendations on social distancing, lockdowns restrict movements, suspension services. There are concerns crisis measures adopted by countries in response may led an upsurge violence against children. Added stressors placed caregivers, economic uncertainty, job loss or...
Purpose The evolution of six sigma has morphed from a method or set techniques to movement focused on business‐process improvement. Business processes are transformed through the successful selection and implementation competing projects. However, efforts implement process improvement initiative alone do not guarantee success. To meet aggressive schedules tight budget constraints, project needs follow proven define, measure, analyze, improve, control methodology. Any slip in schedule cost...
In order to optimize the process of complex system integration, it is necessary first improve management process. This can be accomplished through use a generally understood metric. One such metric Technology Readiness Level (
Theory, methodology, and applications of risk analysis contribute to the quantification management resilience. For analysis, numerous complementary frameworks, guidelines, case studies, etc., are available in literature. resilience, documented sparse relative untested definitions concepts. This essay on resilience analytics motivates tools, processes that will achieve real systems. The paper describes how analysts lead modeling, quantification, for a variety systems subject future...
ABSTRACT The dependence on continuous availability of power for day‐to‐day functioning and sustenance life is more critical today than ever before. A prolonged loss no longer just an inconvenience, but brings normal to a standstill. When Hurricane Sandy hit the U.S East Coast in October 2012, many lost their homes properties due flooding severe winds. However, significant impact was outages over 8 million customers across 21 states, days even weeks. This paper takes systems view these from...
Recent studies in system resilience have proposed metrics to understand the ability of systems recover from a disruptive event, often offering qualitative treatment resilience. This work provides quantitative and focuses specifically on measuring infrastructure networks. Inherent cost are introduced: loss service total network restoration . Further, “costs” shared across multiple infrastructures industries that rely upon those networks, particularly when such networks become inoperable face...
The redundancy allocation problem is formulated with the objective of maximizing minimum subsystem reliability for a series-parallel system. This new formulation that offers several distinct benefits compared to traditional formulations. Since time-to-failure system dictated by time-to-failure, logical design strategy increase as high possible, given constraints on For some problems, preferred may be maximize reliability. Additionally, max-min can serve useful and efficient surrogate...
