- Abstract
The primary objective of present research work is to evaluate and improve the performance and availability of the paint manufacturing plant. Paint manufacturing plant consists of five subsystem naming mixer, grinder, thinner, labelling, and filling unit. Among them labelling and filling unit have two machines in parallel configuration and both are working simultaneously. All failure and repair rates are distributed exponentially. Markov birth-death process is utilized to model the dynamic behavior of the system and its sub-components, enabling a quantitative analysis of system availability. Grey wolf optimization (GWO), a swarm-based optimization technique is used to optimize the availability of the system. Moreover, the research conducts a thorough comparison between the outcomes derived from the Markov birth-death process and the GWO technique. By harnessing the power of GWO, the study aims to further enhance the plant's overall performance.
