Abstract: This paper analysed the behaviour of reliability on fly ash bricks manufacturing system which having three subsystems such as pan mixing, belt conveyor, and bricks forming and they are organised in series manner. Both pan mixing and belt conveyor system contains single unit of machinery and the bricks forming subsystem contains two unit of machineries they are rotary press and hydraulic press. In bricks forming subsystem, both machineries are organised in parallel. Here, when the distribution of subsystem's repair time is taken as arbitrary, the distribution subsystem's failure time of the fly ash bricks manufacturing system is considered as exponential. The fly ash bricks manufacturing unit is investigated by utilising the supplementary variable technique. Here, the particular case is taken for discovering the availability, profit and mean time to system failure (MTSF) of the manufacturing system. Finally, the numerical analysis is performed to validate the impact of failure and repair rates on the availability and profit of the fly ash bricks manufacturing system.

Keywords: availability; profit; supplementary variable technique; mean time to system failure; MTSF; fly ash bricks manufacturing system.
