Abstract
This paper presents two repair policies for the machine interference problem where machines have two failure modes. In policy I priority of repair is assigned to one failure mode over the other, while in policy II the two failure modes have equal probability of repair. Computer programs were developed to obtain the optimal number of machines to be allocated to a single repair crew for the two policies. Under the same operating conditions, policy II is superior to policy I. The repair crew efficiency and machine availability were evaluated for both policies.
