Reliability Measures of a Two-Unit Cold Standby Repairable System with Priority to Operation over Preventive Maintenance

Abstract

The main objective of present work is to carry out various important reliability measures of a two-unit cold standby repairable system with priority to operation over preventive maintenance by using regenerative points technique and semi-Markov process. A single repair facility is provided to conduct repair and maintenance of the system as and when required. All times distributions are exponential except the repair and preventive maintenance time distributions which are considered as general.

Comparison of fuzzy semi-Markov models for one unit with mixed standby units with and without preventive maintenance using regenerative point method

“…Singh et al [7] analyzed the cost benefit of two identical warm standby system under heavy rain with partially operative after repair. Baweja and Kumar [8] obtained reliability measures for a two-unit cold standby repairable system with priority to operation over preventive maintenance. Manocha and Taneja [9] presented analysis of two unit cold standby system with life, repair and waiting times follow arbitrary distributions.…”
