In this article, we study a single-unit repairable model with working and repair time omission under an alternative renewal process. As the working time is shorter than threshold [Formula: see text], we regard some working states as failure states while observing the system operation. Likewise, some failure states are regarded as working states during the observation, because the repair time is shorter than threshold [Formula: see text]. Traditionally, the system’s performance for an omission system is determined by maximizing its point availability and limiting availability. Nowadays, it is widely recognized that this performance measure does not always provide relevant information for practical purposes. The interval availability is often seen as a more appropriate performance measure. So it is an important work to introduce and derive the point and interval availabilities under model assumptions. Finally, some numerical examples are presented to illustrate the results obtained in this article.

In this paper, we consider the arithmetico-geometric process (AGP) repair model. Here, the system has two nonidentical component cold standby repairable system with one repairman. Under this study, component 1 has given priority in use. It is assumed that component 2 after repair is as good as new, whereas the component 1 follows AGP. Under these assumptions, by using AGP repair model, we present a replacement policy based on number of failures, [Formula: see text], of component 1 such that long-run expected reward per unit time is maximized. For this policy, system can be replaced when number of failure of the component 1 reaches to [Formula: see text]. Working time of the component 1 is AGP and it is stochastically decreasing whereas repair time of the component 1 is AGP which is stochastically increasing. The expression for long-run expected reward per unit time for a renewal cycle is derived and illustrated proposed policy with numerical examples by assuming Weibull distributed working time and repair time of the component 1. Also, proposed AGP repair model is compared with the geometric process repair model.

Star repairable systems with spatial dependence consist of a center component and several peripheral components. The peripheral components are arranged around the center component, and the performance of each component depends on its spatial “neighbors.” Vector-Markov process is adapted to describe the performance of the system. The state space and transition rate matrix corresponding to the 6-component star Markov repairable system with spatial dependence are presented via probability analysis method. Several reliability indices, such as the availability, the probabilities of visiting the safety, the degradation, the alert, and the failed state sets, are obtained by Laplace transform method and a numerical example is provided to illustrate the results.

In this paper we derive the distribution of the total downtime of a repairable system during a given time interval. We allow dependence of the failure time and the repair time. The results are presented in the form of Laplace transforms which can be inverted numerically. We also discuss asymptotic properties of the total downtime.
