Abstract

This paper introduced a study for a new system that consists of one unit with mixed standby units. The mathematical model for the system is constructed using semi-Markov model with regenerative point technique in two cases: the first case when there is preventive maintenance provided to the main unit and the second case when there is no preventive maintenance in the system. Life and repair times of the units in the system are assumed to be generally distributed with fuzzy parameters defined by the bell-shaped membership function. A Numerical application is introduced to compare the performance of the system in the two cases.
