Abstract

In this paper a two unit standby system with single repair facility has been considered. When a working unit fails, it is immediately taken over by standby unit and repair on the failed unit is started immediately. Taking two types of distribution, namely, Weibull and Erlangian, various system effectiveness measures such as MTSF, Availability and Busy Periods are compared and results are interpreted numerically. Regenerative Point Technique and Semi-Markov process have been employed in this paper to find the results. Results are supported with numerical data also. Failure time distributions are taken to be exponential whereas the repair times are particular. The result obtained from this can be applied to study complex system where small change in the value of one variable affects the system measures to a great extent.

 

Key words: MTSF, availability, busy period, regenerative point technique, Semi-Markov process.
