Availability Analysis of Cattle Feed Plant Using Matlab-Tool

The objective of this paper is to analyze the variation of availability of Cattle feed plant with respect to time. The paper discusses a Cattle feed plant consisting of various units viz. Elevator, Grinder, Hopper, Mixer, Winch, Palletiser, Screw conveyor. These units are arranged in series. Failure and repair rates of each machine are assumed to be constant. The mathematical model of Cattle feed plant has been developed using Markov birth – death Process. The differential equations have been developed on the basis of probabilistic approach using transition diagram and solved with the help of matlab Tool.
