Abstract
Availability analysis of the repairable engineering system is helpful in minimizing the failures thereby attempts to achieve the required production targets. As high productivity and high production goals become the necessary part of an organization to survive. To affect this, the paper attempts to present the Petri net-based approach to develop the model of various subsystems of a corrugated box plant for availability analysis . The modeling of a system describes the dynamic behavior of the system which is helpful for plant engineers to understand the interaction among the various subsystems under varying operating conditions. The performance parameters such as system availability, percentage of time system is in a reduced state and repairmen utilization gives more insight to the plant engineers under varying operating conditions and helps them in deciding the suitable maintenance actions to increase the system availability and consequently reduce the cost.
