Joint Probability Distribution Function of the Repairing Time for the Defective Machines in the Multiple Queues System
Mohammed Mohammed El Genidy

Abstract: This study dealt with the queues system in one of the industrial workshops which it was composed of four queues, the first and the fourth queues were connected in series, while the second and the third queues were connected in parallel to repair defective machines such that the repairing process included two parts, it were electric and mechanic parts. The first stage was the dismantling of the machine into two parts with the time represented by a continuous random variable T1. The continuous random variables T2 and T3 represented the time of the repairing stages which it were electrical and mechanical repairing respectively and the continuous random variable T4 represented a compile-time of the machine after repairing it. All the random variables had a normal distribution with different means and variances. The joint probability distribution function FT(t) was obtained as multiple linear regression form by calculating the probability density function f(Ti), i = 1, 2, 3, 4 where T is a continuous random variable represented the whole time repairs in the system and t represented a maximum value of T. On the other hand the probability that the system will be failure or defective at T>t is equal to (1-FT(t)) can be computed and predicted its value easily by using the multiple linear regression form of FT(t) without performed many mathematical processes.

INTRODUCTION

There was always a difficulty in handling the mathematical formulas obtained in some of the research such as the obtaining some important information of the repairing time for the defective machines in the multiple queues system of the industrial workshops. In this study, the methods and ideas of the previous studies were updated for providing the important relevant statistics in order to get and predict some information about the repairing time of the defective machines in the industrial workshops. Research has done on transport equation for the joint distribution function of velocity, temperature and concentration in convective turbulent flow in presence of dust particles by Azad et al. (2012). Contextual mobile learning for repairing industrial machines: System architecture and development process was in working by David et al. (2008) but the work of Ekpenyong et al.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM AND ITS SOLVING

The system of the machines repairing is a multiple queues system which it consists of four queues. The first and the fourth queues were connected in series, while the second and the third queues were connected in parallel to repair defective machines such that the repairing process included two parts, it were electrical part and mechanic part. The first service was dismantling process which the time of the first service represented by a continuous random variable T1 on the interval [0,t1] while the continuous random variables T2 on the interval [0,t2] and T3 on the interval [0,t3] represented the time of the repairing stages which it were electrical repairing and mechanical repairing, respectively, lastly the continuous random variable T4 on the interval [0,t4] represented a compile-time of the machine after repairing it. The continuous random variables T1, T2, T3 and T4 were mutually independent and had a normal distribution with different means and variances (μ1, σ12), (μ2, σ22), (μ3, σ32) and (μ4, σ42) , respectively. Therefore the whole time T of the time repairing in the system was written as follows:

T = T1+max{T2, T3}+T4 = T1+M+T4

where, M is a random variable such that, M = max{T2, T3}.

On the other hand, the probability density functions of the continuous random variables T1, T2, T3 and T4 were written as follows:

and:

Such that: t1, t2, t3 and t4 were the values of T1, T2, T3 and T4, respectively.

Therefore, the joint probability distribution function FT(t) was obtained as follows:

where, t = t1+m+t4 and m = max{t2, t3}.

While, the continuous random variables T1, T2, T3 and T4 were mutually independent and had a normal distribution, then:

Let M = max{T2, T3} = T2, thus:

APPLICATION WITH NUMERICAL RESULTS

Suppose, samples were taken from the industrial workshops and were found that:

μ1 = 0.2, μ2 = 0.3, μ4 = 0.4, σ1 = σ2 = σ4 = 0.5

such that, the values of t1, t2 and t4 were supposed as follows:

t1 = 0.21,…, 0.3

t2 = 0.31,…, 0.4

t4 = 0.41,…, 0.5

Then, the values of FT(t) were computed as follows:



Apply the FIT command on the obvious results to get the multiple linear regression.

Z = z(T1, T2, T4) for the joint probability distribution function FT(t) as follows:

Fit[{{0.21,0.31,0.41,0.693248},{0.22,0.32,0.42,0.717174},{0.23,0.33,0.43,0.74108},
{0.24,0.34,0.44,0.764957},{0.25,0.35,0.45,0.788797},{0.26,0.36,0.46,0.812589},
{0.27,0.37,0.47,0.836323},{0.28,0.38,0.48,0.867856},{0.29,0.39,0.49,0.883584},
{0.3,0.4,0.5,0.907092}},{1, T1, T2, T4},{ T1, T2, T4}]

Then Z = z(T1, T2, T4) was obtained as follows:

Z = z(T1, T2, T4) = -0.049996+0.805249 T1+0.80025 T2+0.79525 T4

CONCLUSION

If T1 = 0.3, T2 = 0.4 and T4 = 0.5 then, Z = 0.909304 but also z≅FT(t) for all values of t therefore, the function Z is good estimator for the function FT(t). On the other hand the probability that the system will be failure or defective at T>1.2 is equal to (1-FT(t))~0.09. This method can apply on other different distributions as Exponential and Pareto distributions. The results of this study will enable the researchers to deal with this system in an economical manner and with minimal costs. Lastly, the idea of this study allows the researchers to apply it in various scientific fields.
