Abstract
ABSTRACTIn this article, a two-dissimilar-component cold standby repairable system with one repairman is studied. Assume that the repair after failure for each component is delayed or undelayed. Component 2 after repair is “as good as new” while Component 1 after repair is not, but Component 1 has priority in use. Under these assumptions, using a geometric process, we consider a replacement policy N based on the failure number of Component 1. An optimal replacement policy N* is determined by minimizing the average cost rate C(N) of the system. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate some theoretical results and the model applicability.
