Markov Modeling Overview

Markov modeling is a powerful tool in reliability engineering, known for its ability to model complex systems with unconventional repair schemes and multiple stages of degradation. Although Markov models may appear complex and intimidating, they are ultimately systematic and straightforward. While they are invaluable in certain specialized situations, they often unnecessarily complicate the analysis process and only approximate the accuracy of standard equations. For example, in a simple one-out-of-two voting arrangement, a Markov model merely approaches the accuracy of analytical solution equations but demands significantly more computational effort.

In this webinar, Kenexis President Ed Marszal will offer a comprehensive tutorial on Markov models. The webinar aims to demystify Markov models, highlight the scenarios where they are most useful and effective, discuss their limitations and potential inaccuracies, and introduce the methods for their construction and solution.
