Long Run Performance of a Standby System under Repair Time Threshold& Server Failure

R. K. Bhardwaj , R Singh

Abstract

This paper investigates the performance of a cold standby system consisting of two identical units with a threshold on the repair time and a server subjected to failure. The system starts operation with one active and another cold standby unit. Upon failure the unit is taken by the server for necessary restorative action. The repair is allowed only up to a specified time limit. If it exceeds this limit, the unit gets replaced by new identical one, to avoid any possible loss. This time limit is taken as a threshold. The steady state expressions for measures of system dependability are obtained using semi-Markov processes and regenerative point technique. An illustrative example is also given as a particular case to communicate the essence of theoretical results.
