Fault-tolerant systems with repair-upon-failure strategy can become expensive in terms of labour and time. Especially for homogeneous multi-server systems, if no control hierarchy exists, postponing non essential repairs can reduce these costs without affecting the availability of the whole system significantly. Of course, while postponing these repairs, it is essential to keep the whole system capable to deal with user requests. For this purpose, usually, a threshold value is defined which represents the minimum number of servers the system administrator should keep operative. Performability evaluation of such systems is very important since the systems are fault tolerant. In this paper, the simulation of large scale multi-server systems, with identical servers, serving a stream of arriving jobs is considered. The cost of running such systems with various deferred repair strategies has been calculated and compared to the cost of using a repair-upon failure strategy.

Analytical modelling of large scale multi-server systems with deferred repairs: A reward rate approach Koçyiğit, Altan; Ever, Enver (2008-11-17) Fault-tolerant systems with repair-upon-failure strategy can become expensive in terms of labour and time. Postponing non essential repairs can reduce these costs. Of course, while postponing these repairs, it is essential to keep the whole system capable to deal with user requests. For this purpose, usually, a threshold value is defined which represents the minimum number of servers the system administrator should keep operative. In this paper, analytical modelling of large scale multi-server systems, with...
Engineering Effort Estimation for Product Development Projects Yurt, Z. Ozturk; İyigün, Cem; Bakal, P. (2019-01-01) Cost estimation is an essential process for gaining competitive advantage in the bidding phase of every project. Besides, cost estimates are also vital for effective project control. For product development projects engineering hours is the main cost item and hence estimating engineering hours for potential product development projects is an important task.
Supplier development in a multi-tier supply chain Karaer, Özgen; Yalcin, Pinar (Informa UK Limited, 2019-10-16) We examine how a buyer can use a full-control strategy and cost sharing to develop the sustainable quality capabilities of his tier-1 and tier-2 suppliers. In particular, we consider how the buyer?s development decisions and the suppliers? sustainable quality decisions are impacted by consumers? demand sensitivity to sustainable quality and the division of the supply chain margin. Two quality-demand models are studied ? the overall quality of the supply chain equals either (i) the sum of or (ii) the minimum...
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR EMOTIONAL DURABILITY AND PRODUCT LONGEVITY THROUGH PRODUCT CARE ACTIVITIES BY REPAIR ENTHUSIASTS Yazirlıoğlu, Lilyana; Doğan, Çağla; Department of Industrial Design (2021-8-02) Take-make-dispose behaviours as the basis of the linear economy model are challenged by the sustainable modes of consumption that aim to minimise the use of raw materials and waste production. The most prominent among these is the circular economy model, which resembles the production and consumption cycles to a living system, and proposes alternative systems where there is no such thing as waste but only food for another within the system (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2015). Therefore, the aim is to protect...
Profit maximizing shipment consolidation with uncertain shipment requests Öztürk, Ergin; Savaşaneril Tüfekci, Seçil; Yüksel Özkaya, Banu; Department of Industrial Engineering (2022-8) In this study, a profit maximizing shipment consolidation problem is under consideration. There are multiple shippers characterized by uncertain shipment requests, who consolidate their orders and make dispatch decisions jointly, in order to maximize total profit. The problem is modeled as a continuous-time Markov Decision Process. For the two-shipper setting the structure of the optimal policy is characterized under certain conditions. For the multiple-shipper setting obtaining the optimal policy is diffic...
