Abstract
A system of iii statistically identical machines is modeled using rene wal theory through a unique architecture and statespace. The model is very useful in evaluating flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) in part icular. Each machine consists of multiple part types that are subject to individual failure, A multiple stage repair process composed of int egrable sojourn time distributions requires access to spare parts to r epair down machines. A performability measure is used to gauge system effectiveness for this partially degradable system, and an example is given.
