Structural Analysis of Factors affecting the Effectiveness of Complex Technical Systems – Case Study

Abstract:

The changes that took place in the 21st century in the sphere of industrial production as a result of the continuous technological race led to significant reduction of production cycles by increasing the efficiency of the machinery parks. As a result of the interaction of various external and internal factors in the operating complex technical systems, various cases are occurring causing processes to lose their usefulness. The problem of systems with a serial structure availability that was described in this article (due to the structure of the work center) should be interpreted in the category of faultless operation. The combination of machines and devices in this way expresses an object where its state of functioning occurs only when all its components are in a state of functioning. The object is down if one of its elements is broken. This means that the elements of the system that interact with each other when performing certain functions at a given decomposition level are indivisible.

The aim of the paper is to present the possibilities offered by problem modeling by means of structural analysis to solve problems related to the effectiveness of complex technical systems. As a result of the analysis, a key factor was chosen for the downtime of the work center.
