Abstract
A two-unit standby redundant system with repair and preventive maintenance is discussed. Assuming that the failure, repair, inspection, and preventive maintenance (preventive repair) time distributions of each unit for the system are all arbitrary, the Laplace-Stieltjes transform (L.S.T.) of the distribution of time to the first system down is derived and the mean time obtained from it. It is further shown that under suitable assumptions, the preventive maintenance policy for the system is effective in the sense that it increases the mean time to the first system down.
