Abstract: The main aim of this research work is to present a
reliability and availability analysis of a three-unit system (A, A
s
,
B) under the provision of replacement of a unit using the Genetic
algorithm. One unit is in standby mode so that after the failure of
one unit it can be active. But one unit which is dissimilar to the
previous one can be replaced with the new one after the failure. It
has been considered that there is only one repair man availability
within the organization. Here in this paper we have used the
Genetic algorithm for finding out the optimized availability of the
system and also with the assistance of numbers of graphs we have
analyzed reliability characteristics, availability of the framework,
so the result of the paper will be very useful for the industry
people.
Keywords: Availability, Genetic Algorithm.
I. INTRODUCTION
Mathematically, the term reliability is stated as the
probability that any framework will do its expected work
under specified environment conditions over a specified
interval of time.
R(t) = P (T ≥ t).
Reliable functioning of any complex systems is of extremely
concern to the millions of end users that directly or indirectly
connected with these systems. But still most of the systems
fall short of user's expectation of reliability. Using the concept
of redundancy is one of the important techniques to increase
the reliability of the systems. This type of systems that are
using the concept of standby redundancies have been
frequently analyzed by number of authors with different
assumptions be-cause of their crucial existence in

organizations and modern industries. In the past decades,
many articles related to the availability, non- availability,
profit function analysis, analysis regarding visit of repair
personal and other characteristics considering reliability of
three-unit systems have been published. Several studies
including Gupta et al. (1986) have analyzed a two-similar unit
parallel system with facilities of preventive maintenance
(P.M.), inspection and two types of repair. Tuteja and Taneja
(1992) discussed the profit analysis of a two-servers including
two-units standby framework under many failures. Jansen and
Schouten (1995) examined the ideal preventive-upkeep plan
for a generation framework comprising of n-
indistinguishable parallel production units. In this paper they
supposed that the unit’s lifetimes were IFR-distributed, also
the assumed that the important expenses were because of
generation misfortunes, which were expanding and arched in
the quantity of units that were out of operation at the same
time. Genuine maintenance expenses were thought to be
immaterial when contrasted with the expenses because of
those production losses.
In the paper written by Xie and Lai (1996) they both studied a
mathematical model which was based on two Weibull
functions.
Jardine et al. (1997) discussed minimized replacement
strategy or plan and the framework of software which is under
the condition-based maintenance environment. They
presented a preventive maintenance (PM) policy depends
upon the results of inspections. Barbera et al. (1999)
presented a restriction-based maintenance framework with
failures under exponential distribution and settled review
interims for a two-unit framework series. The state of every
unit, for example, vibration or warmth, was observed at
similar time interims. The statistical variables for every unit
were utilized to pick whether to repair a specified unit or to
change the whole framework. At the end of the maintenance,
variable takes on its initial figures. They assumed that every
unit can fall flat just once inside of an investigation interim
and when one or both units fizzle the framework comes up
short. Goldberg (2001) made a study on G.A. technique, and
examined three basic operators: reproduction, crossover and
mutation. Castro and Cavalca (2003) published the work on
an availability optimization problem of an industrial system,
they used the concept of Genetic Algorithm for getting the
maximum availability of the system.
Noortwijk et al. (2004) delivered a research paper which was
based on probabilistic life-cycle maintenance models for
deteriorating civil infrastructures. they compared the two
maintenance models of civil
infrastructures that was used to
achieve the optimum level of
