Intensity Function in Evaluation of Production Process Stability

Abstract

Abstract. Modern, highly competitive market demands from enterprises that the production processes are realised efficiently. Any downtime results in missing order delivery times, which entails enforcing contractual fines and losing customers. The companies must, therefore, strive to identify and compensate for any factors destabilising efficient course of the production process. Therefore, the following paper describes results of stability analysis of a production process by means of hazard function. Machine failure in the stock of tools was established as the disruptive factor. The summary of modern trends in reliability analysis was followed by description of event history analysis methods and their practical application in analysis of historical data obtained from a manufacturing enterprise.
