Abstract

In this paper, a repairable circular consecutive- k -out-of- n : F system with one repairman is studied. It is assumed that the working time and the repair time of each component are both exponentially distributed and every component after repair is ‘as good as new’. Each component is classified as either a key component or an ordinary component. Key components have priority in repair when failed. By using the definition of generalized transition probability, the state transition probabilities of the system are derived. Important reliability indices are evaluated for an example.
