The Study of Mission Reliability of QRMS Based on the Multistage Markov Process
Abstract
The iteration is a fundamental characteristic of the complex developing process. The developing mission of new product, during the quick response manufacturing process, will be iterated step by step following certain probability rules at the work nodes. Based on the analysis of the development mission process, the method of the multi-stages, finite state Markov process is presented to describe the system process. The models of the mission reliability for both task stages and system have then been built. Finally, the quantitative methods of mission reliability calculation were explained in details through the analysis of an actual developing process. The methods can also be used to evaluate the development system.
