CM triggered by subsystem down

Purposes

The purposes of this example is to illustrate how to model the case when CM is triggered by failure of subsystem.

Description

Three devices A, B and C are in parallel. A and B form a subsystem. Only both A and B fail (subsystem fails), then start to repair A and B. The repair of C is depend on its failure. When C fails, then start to repair C.

BlockSim Solution

The BlockSim modeling of this system is shown in Figure below.

Reliability of all blocks follow Weibull distribution with Beta =1.5 and Eta=500 hours.

Block A and Block B are belong to maintenance group MG_AB.

CM of Block A and B are set to "When found failed during an inspection". The CM duration is 120 hour and upon repair, it is as good as new.
