Abstract

To increase the reliability of the system, Redundancy Allocation Problem (RAP) is formulated which determines the constituent reliability and the level of redundancy for each subsystem. The RAP is a non-linear integer type optimisation problem. The main objective is to optimize reliability of JAYFE Cylinder manufacturing plant within a given cost bracket. The Heuristic algorithm used to solve the problem of redundancy allocation with cost constraint in the system is described and used to assign redundancy in the manufacturing plant. Heuristic algorithm is useful to come across an efficient redundancy approach. Role of this algorithm is to give the achievable solution for the given problem.
