Abstract
This paper deals with the operational availability of a three-state complex repairable system consisting of n distinct units arranged in series. Single service facility is available for three types of failures of the complex system. A mathematical model for the complex system under severe restrictions has been developed for exponential failures and general repairs. Laplace transforms of various state probabilities have been evaluated and availability is then obtained by the inversion process. Few graphical illustrations are also given in the end so as to explain the practical utility of the model.
