Abstract

The paper elucidates two distinct techniques for conducting a comparative study aimed at ascertaining the transient availability of a repairable system. The use of Markov modeling forms the basis of this investigation strategy. The set of differential equations in the current study is formulated, and they are then solved using the Laplace transform method and the matrix method, respectively. To help with a clearer understanding of the system, these approaches are subjected to a thorough evaluation and comparative study. Availability guarantees that critical processes, failure analysis and services continue to run smoothly, which is essential for business continuity. In sectors like finance, public health, and telecommunications, this is especially crucial. Productivity and availability are directly related. Systems that are continuously available allow workers and resources to be used to their greatest potential, increasing productivity and efficiency.
