Step 1: Introduce to System Reliability Measurement
The capacity of a system or component to carry out its intended activities under specific circumstances for a predetermined amount of time is known as system reliability, and it is a crucial component of engineering and management. Understanding and measuring dependability is crucial for guaranteeing safety, reducing downtime, and maximizing resource use in a variety of industries, from aerospace to healthcare. This introduction looks at several metrics and methods for evaluating system dependability and how these tools may be used to make complicated systems more reliable. The evaluation of system dependability is crucial for attaining operational excellence and customer satisfaction, whether in design, maintenance, or decision-making.

The continuous problem has been that the locomotives used by the company are not very reliable. Even with prior decisions to resolve the problem, there still has not been a change in the reliability of these locomotives. Between 2013 and 2014, 155 new locomotives were purchased and one of CBN's repair shops was reno- vated. The renovated shop has been very inefficient. Spychalski estimated that the shop would complete 300 overhauls on a yearly basis, but instead it has only managed to com- plete an average of 160 overhauls per year. The company has also been doing a poor job servicing customers (that is, providing equipment). CBN has averaged only 87 to 88 percent equipment availability, compared to other railroads with availability figures greater than 90 percent. Increased business in the rail industry has been a reason for trying to reduce the time used for repairing the…arrow_forward
