Abstract

This paper presents a method to investigate the effectiveness of an operation process with a servicing expert system including an artificial neural network. A method of simulation testing with the use of computer technology was described. The theoretical basis was presented of the modelling of an operation process of objects in the form of the following models: mathematical (analytical), graphical and descriptional. For the tests, a model was developed of an organization of a servicing system of those technical objects which require short shutdown times (aircrafts, radiolocation systems, etc.). The requirements were presented and described for simulation tests, which is the development of a test plan, preparation of data to describe the performance of an object, as well as development of models for an operation process of a technical object, which express the investigated aspects of this process. The results of the simulation tests of a repairable technical object were presented.
