Spare Parts Requirement Simulation Model Based on Multi-Agent

On the basis of thorough analysis on the charateristics of m-maintenance policy in k/N redundancy system,the spare parts requirements model based on Multi-Agent simulation is presented.The simulation represents the two objects as two kind of Agents: Shop Replaceable Unit(SRU) Agent for working component and SparePart Agent for spare parts,and the state chart models are constructed for both Agents.The control of states for each agent is event-driven,which can inderectly control the system behavior.The effectiveness of the approach is testified by an example.
