Study of Optimal Frequency to the Repairable System Due to Failure Finding Interval to Maximize Availability System ()
1. Introduction
It is known that a secure of system machine is spoiled due to different changes or modifications made to it like an extreme substitute done on that machine system which implies the consequence of the component being declined. The loss of ability to function for some parts normally is unpredicted or not notified before, but it is almost a hidden failure system which is only discovered by inspection, the more details can be seen in [1] - [6] . The risk of such an issue is noticed in time the system device is taken into operation and then fails to operate. To determine the failure of the network device, the notification of customary inspection is advised to execute the well-functioning of the system to bring it as good as new as it was before, see [7] [8] . As the failure part of the system is founded the component is automatically taken to be repaired where the failed part will be repaired or replaced respectively as can be seen in [9] [10] . It is understandable that, the system availability of this state device is always determined by the one who is concerned with the maintenance system. And the quality of not being available in the time needed to be used which is known as unavailability has been discussed in [11] - [16] , which gives the corrective impact of maintenance action to improve the system device.
In a time of inspection failure part, a failure of system device can be caused by different factors such as determination the occurrence of the failure point followed by the control point, downtime to failure running out. Also, downtime to failure resulting from the reviews time, a system device is taken to the maintenance to replace the damaged part. Otherwise, it will be repaired or replaced. Some of these factors have been discussed here [17] - [22] , where the restoration of specification hidden condition is needed to be considered.
It is observed that the downtime of the system is closely related to the inspection conducted in the interval of time. Therefore as checkup time increases, the relative control frequencies are also increased and the entire downtime of inspection while the downtime of failure is decreased too. Hence the optimal point to the inspection interval is needed for minimizing the complete downtime and maximizing the system availability to the state device at the same time [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] which has been discussed in detail.
Different models have been discussed for the given problem above such as [28] - [32] . These models present also enclose limiting assumptions or has some inconveniences.
The purpose of this model is to make a comparison between our presented model with the one presented by Moubray. To define the optimal of finding failure in the given interval to the system device, to maximize as well as minimize the entire downtime of inspection to the state devices, have been investigated in [33] [34] [35] .
The rest of this article is organized as the following: In section 2, we consider the model formulation due to the classical one formulated by Moubray. In part 3, we develop some assumptions which will help us in model structure. By section 4, we present the key proof to our model produced. In section 5, the numerical examples have been discussed to compare the classical and new one model considered in this article. Hence, in section 6, we present the conclusion and acknowledgment.
2. Statement of the Problem
Using the same procedures with the one founded in [36] , model, which can be derived respectively in the following manner. We assume that
and
are availability and unavailability system respectively at given time
. The mean time between failure to the inspection component is
, and failure
finding interval is denoted as
, where downtime to failure is noticed as
in such that downtime and inspection of system device is assumed to be neglected. Let us take
as the total interval in such that the total number of the average of failures system is given by
In the same way the entire downtime to failure is also expressed as
The given availability of system is characterised by the following relation
And the given interval of failure to the system is expressed as
(1)
Such that,
is taken as unavailability of the system device.
3. Model Assumptions
The model is based on following assumptions which play a significant role in our model formulation.
A0: An expression
is not taken as the entire number of average while I doesn’t consider as stopover in regularly working conditions of the system devices.
A1: An expression
can’t be seen as perfect while the density function of failure condition is taken as exact under the inspected interval time with respected to the symmetric distribution.
A2: An unavailability to the system devices caused by the inspection time together with repair time have been taken into consideration. We have seen that, in the above statement, the downtime affected by the inspected with repair time
is closed related to the relation
which is tested as not exact as the entire number of the checked time which is too big.
A3: It is acknowledged that the finding failure interval of system device is characterized by the unavailability of the system device to be minimized instead of limiting to the supplied availability of the system apparatus. It can help us to get the qualified significance availability of the system which can even not be readily determined as such.
4. Main Proof for the Model
From the above assumptions, it is observed that, for downtime to failure case, the inspection time showed the damaged part of the system devices. Where some areas of the component are tested for working slowly or not compared to the ordinary conditions which imply the maintenance to be taken into consideration such as repair or replacement of component material. Therefore let us use exponential distribution to represent Weibull distribution in the case of time failure to the system device which has a similar mean. In the same way, it better to consider some assumptions to the exponential where the symmetric condition to the density function is less measured in the situation.
Then, let us suppose that the failure to the density function has the following expression,
The conditional to the density function given in the interval time is
, such that
, which is provided by the following equation
then
. We conclude that, the expression to the expectation of downtime to failure
is expressed by the following relation
(2)
It is understandable that,
is taken as a function of
with
which is independent of the inspected time. Assume that
with
are considered as average to the inspection time with repair time severally. Suppose that the adequate interval time
, such that I is considered as the entire regular time taken for the failure of system device, where inspection time with repair time are not included. Therefore, the failure to the whole number of average is expressed by,
in the same way, the complete number of average to the inspection time is represented by the following,
where, the entire downtime is determined by
the entire time, inspection with repair time are respectively expressed by the following relation
Hence, the expression of system availability is taken as
(3)
as such that
(4)
By the above expression (3) with (4), the unavailability system is closed related to the minimum of
. Such that the optimal finding failure interval can not be influenced by repair time of the system which is
, while it can perform the unavailability system.
Applying the relation (2) to the given relation (4) we get,
We are interested to see the behaviour of the function
where the relation
with
represents a figure which having minimum at the point
, that is unique where
It is understandable that,
is considered as function to the given variable
.
Consider
We have the maximum to the availability of system which is expressed by the following
which is indicated by
.
Therefore, the following expression is retained
Hence,
is expressed by the following
It is clear that,
together with
Therefore,
is increasing so fast, since
is decreasing in
.
However
is absolutely smallest one.
To simplify our model solution, we adjust the following important expressions below.

By considering the relation (5), we get
5. Numerical Example for Model Application
Using the related data discussed by [37] [38] in his model, we illustrate the formula developed above where the entire time services in a period of one year is considered as
. And the total failure number of the system device is taken as
, such that the interval time of sampling have been taking a year. Therefore mean time between failure interval, in this case, is 10 years maximum. By using the assumption to the exponential distribution, mean time between to failure is expressed as the following,
The error observed in this case is relatively around 5.1%. Using the assumption of
,
; together with assumption on exponential distribution
We get
In general, due to these assumptions, the downtime to the failure of the system produce an error in the following derived relation.
Therefore the error generated is closed related to the large interval of the inspection made on the system device. Thus, let us use
, we get the following relative value
Which is impossible to get the availability of the system having a significant value of 98.58%.
Since
varies from 0.0004 up to 0.004,
also varies from 0.0284% up to 0.2910%, which express that the repair time of the system can not cause the change to the availability of system device.
By considering of availability to the system which is
, the relation given above in (12) provides two solutions of variable
. Where those solutions are considered to be less compared to the
, otherwise has a value which is bigger than
respectively. Therefore, the biggest or greater one is selected to be economic system as an efficiency solution of
.
Under the two models proposed here is to compare between the old one and new one, which is constructed through to the value of availability system where
together with
. The estimate solution of finding failure
interval time from the relation (12) together with (4) have been illustrated in Table 1 below. It implies the largest deviation value due to the biggest value to

the availability of the system. Therefore, from the above observation the given above relation in (4) is closed related to the unavailability of the scheme which is smaller than 5.1%.
Hence, the given system device provided that, the protective device agrees with using the exponential distribution to the survive distribution function which can not be considered as a valid, accurate statement to maintain in this new model derived
6. Conclusions
In this article, we have used different models to develop an effective one to find out the optimal finding failure interval for the system device. And the solutions to the optimal device in the considered developed model has well adjusted due to derivation to the experimental observation rather than theory, which may be taken into consideration in the next applied practical design research related. In the theory of mathematical application in this model, we have theoretically and mathematically demonstrated a big gap between the two considered models, the classic one and the new one developed in this article. Hence our suggestion to our reader is to use the new one developed model more than the classic one in their practical application for next research.
Our future related research will be focussed on an extension of our model by using more than one of the new assumptions. Our major challenge is to formulate a research model where the system degradation will be explained by conditional parameters such as those related to climate change. The above new idea will help us to achieve maximum efficiency in the next failure finding task by optimization.
