Abstract

Multiple-Phased Systems (MPS) are systems whose behaviour can be split in a set of successive periods, called phases. We concentrate on the Phase Petri nets (PPN) formalism for the representation of state-based MPS, whose state space is a Markov Regenerative Process (MRP). MPS have been traditionally evaluated using an ad-hoc method. In this paper we show how the recently developed Component Method for general MRP deals with MPS. The application of this method also allows for more general MPS system, namely where the phases can be interrupted or influenced by the behaviour of the modeled system The advantages of this approach is assessed on a Scheduled Maintenance Systems model using two tools, DEEM and GreatSPN.
