A Delay-Time Model with Imperfect Inspections for Multi-Unit Systems / Model Opóźnień Czasowych Z Nieperfekcyjną Diagnozą Stanu Systemu Dla Systemów Wieloelementowych

Abstract In this paper, the authors’ research work is focused on imperfect inspection policy investigation, when not all defects are identified during inspection action performance. They are interested in Block Inspection Policy performance for multi-unit systems, the maintenance policy which is one of the most commonly used in practice. As a result, at the beginning, few words about delay time modelling approach and a brief literature overview is given. Later, the model of Block-Inspection Policy is provided. The numerical example with the use of QNU Octave program is given. In the next Section, the sensitivity analysis of the developed model is characterised. The article ends up with summary and directions for further research. Streszczenie W artykule autorzy skupili się na analizie nieperfekcyjnej operacji diagnozy stanu systemu, podczas której nie wszystkie symptomy o potencjalnym uszkodzeniu elementów systemu zostają wykryte. Swoimi badaniami autorzy objęli analizę jednej z częściej wykorzystywanych w praktyce polityk obsługiwania Block Inspection Policy (BIP) dla systemów wieloelementowych. W artykule przedstawiono krótki przegląd literatury z badanego obszaru, następnie omówiono koncepcję modelu BIP oraz przedstawiono jego model symulacyjny z wykorzystaniem oprogramowania QNU Octave. W kolejnym punkcie przedstawiono analizę wrażliwości badanego modelu. Pracę kończy podsumowanie i wskazanie kierunków dalszych prac badawczych.
