Abstract

The paper deals with the cost-benefit and reliability analysis of a two non-identical unit parallel system with two independent repairmen—skilled and ordinary. A failed unit is first attended by skilled repairman to perform first phase repair and then it goes for second phase repair by ordinary repairman. Both types of repair discipline are FCFS. All the failure and first phase repair time distributions are exponentials with different parameters whereas second phase repair time distributions are taken general. Various important measures of system effectiveness are obtained by regenerative point technique.
