ABSTRACT:
This paper deals with the reliability, MTSF and profit analysis of a two non-identical units (unit-I and unit 2) cold standby system model assuming two modes- normal and total failure of each unit. Unit-I goes for inspection after th.e repair to decide whether the repair done is perfect or not. If the repair is found to be perfect then the repaired unit becomes operative, otherwise it is sent for post repair. A single repair facility is available with the system to repair both types of; failed units as well as inspection and post repair of unit-I. AU the random variables denoting failure and repair times of both units, time to inspection and post repair of unit-I are independent of discrete nature and follow geometric distributions with different parameters. The various measures of system effectiveness are obtained by using regenerative point technique.
