Reliability Elements and Resources

In this example, there are three machines whose reliabilities are simulated using RL elements. When those machines fail, they require two things to be repaired: a spare and a technician. Both of them are defined as resources in this model and whenever machines fail the availability of these two resources are checked. If either one of resources are unavailable the repair has to be delayed until they become available. The plot of results below is most useful when individual realizations are viewed.
