Abstract

In the presented paper, authors focus on the issues connected with production processes reliability assessment. Such analyses regard considering many different factors and requirements. Thus, based on the developed multidimensional definition of production process reliability, the seven-state Markov model of production process performance is presented. Later, there is provided a comprehensive sensitivity analysis of the developed model based on the expert opinions in the area of model parameters estimation. The work ends up with summary and directions for further research.
