| Abstract: | This paper investigates a stochastic model of a single server, two identical unit cold standby system. Each unit consists of n separately maintained independent components arranged in series. After each failure, an inspection is required to detect which component of the unit has failed. The failure time distribution of a unit is truncated normal while all the other time distributions are negative exponential. Using the regenerative point technique, we obtained various measures of system effectiveness to carry out the profit function analysis. |
