Abstract

The current paper deals with the modeling and profit evaluation of a repairable system working with one operative unit and three cold standby units. Initially, there is single unit in operation which is referred as main unit and three cold standby units. The system works properly as long as the main unit remain in operable mode and whenever the main unit comes at halt, all the cold standby units have to function together to keep the system operating. There is only one repairman available. The reliability and profit evaluation has been done for the current study. Various measures of system effectiveness such as MTSF and Profit are obtained using semi Markov process and Regenerative point technique.
