The Available Company operates a one-of-a-kind piece of equipment that is essential in the manufacture of their products. This machine has been in operation for four years (1000 operating days). In order to plan for next year's production levels, the availability of the machine must be determined. The company works a single 8-hr shift, 250 days out of the year. Relevant failure and maintenance data collected over this period is: Failures: Minimal repair with a power law intensity function having a = .0001 and b= 1.825 with time measured in operating days Repair time is lognormal with med = 3 days and s= .758 Scheduled maintenance: A preventive maintenance downtime of one day every five weeks (25 operating days). Repairs: Based upon both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, determine the expected availability of the equipment over the coming year (i.e., the next 250 operating days).
