Abstract

The goal of this paper is to carry out the reliability and cost effectiveness of a two unit cold standby system with allowed downtime and correlated failure and repair times. For this purpose, a stochastic Model is developed in which one unit is operative and other is kept as cold standby. Each unit has three modes of failure viz. normal, degraded and total failure. The time taken in replacement of a failed unit is negligible but it is a random variable. The failure rates are constant and system repair time are arbitrary distributed. The numerical results for reliability and cost-effectiveness are obtained using supplementary variable technique. The repair and failure times are correlated .
