Abstract
In this paper performance behaviour is analysed in respect of the availability of the Veneer layup system of a plywood manufacturing plant. Generalized Stochastic Petri Nets (GSPN) technique is applied for modelling interactions among various components as well as the subsystems. The effects of the failure and repair rates, as well as availability of repair facilities on the behaviour of the system is investigated using a licensed software package. The outcomes will provide guidelines for the effective maintenance priorities to the practitioners and help in selecting appropriate maintenance strategies.
