to ReliaSoft.comIn the Introduction to Repairable Systems chapter of this on-line reference, we explored some of the basic concepts and mathematical formulations involving repairable systems. Most examples/equations were given using a single component and, in some cases, using the exponential distribution for simplicity. In practical applications where one is dealing with large systems composed of many components that fail and get repaired based on different distributions and with additional constraints (such as spare parts, crews etc.), exact analytical computations become intractable. To solve such systems, one needs to resort to simulation (more specifically, discrete event simulation) to obtain the metrics/results discussed in this section. The next chapter, Repairable Systems Analysis Through Simulation, expands on these concepts and introduces these simulation methods.
