ANALYSIS OF R OUT OF N STANDBY REDUNDANT SYSTEM WITH EMERGENCY REPAIR MAN
An R out of N standby redundant system consists of N components and operates if at least R components are functioning. The increase in the number of failed components leads the system to a breakdown. In order to avoid the breakdown of the system, it may be natural that a repair man is temporarily added into the system when the number of failures in the components becomes large. In this paper, we consider an R out of N stand by redundant system with an emergency repair man. In the analysis, we adopt the graph technique for obtai ning the system availability and then show its effectiveness in comparison with the traditional approach. Fur ther, the economical operation of the emergency repair man and the economical design of the system are inves tigated.
