Abstract

This paper presents the performance and reliability analysis of the pulping system in a repairable paper plant utilising the fuzzy λ-τ method based on trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. The configuration of the pulping system has been modelled by the Petri net model. To deal with imprecision and vagueness in failure/repair data, trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are used to fuzzify the failure and repair data of each component of the pulping system. The fuzzy λ-τ method has been utilised to evaluate reliability factors of the pulping system including availability, reliability, failure rate, repair time, mean time between failures and expected number of failures at different spreads. The analysis is beneficial for plant managers to enhance the performance of the pulping system by developing and implementing appropriate maintenance strategies and policies.
