Abstract:-In this paper estimation of reliability parameters of a complex repairable system is considered and semi-markov process is used in
analyzing various reliability parameters such as Transition Probabilities, Mean sojourn times, MTSF, Availability and Busy period of repairman
in repairing the failed units. In the past, Arora et-al[2] has done reliability analysis of two unit standby redundant system with constrained repair
time. Gupta et-al [6] has worked on a compound redundant system involving human failure. Rander et-al [2] has evaluated the cost analysis of
two dissimilar cold standby systems with preventive maintenance and replacement of standby units. A pioneer work in this field was done by
Gopalan [1] and Osaki [3] by performing analysis of warm standby system and parallel system with bivariate exponential life respectively.
Earlier, Pathak et al [7&8] studied reliability parameters of a main unit with its supporting units and also compared the results with two different
distributions. In this paper, Chapman-Kolmogorov equations are used to develop recursive relations. Also the involvement of preventive
maintenance in the model increases the reliability of the functioning units. In the end a particular case is also taken for discussion.

System Description about the model:
The system consists of three units namely one main unit A and two associate units B & C. Here the associate unit B and
C dependents upon main units A and the system is operable when the main unit and at least one associate unit is in operable.
Main unit are employed to rotate B and C. As soon as a job arrives, all the units work with load. It is assumed that only one job is
taken for processing at a time. There is a single repairman who repairs the failed units on first come first served basis. Using
regenerative point technique several system characteristics such as transition probabilities, mean sojourn times, availability and
busy period of the repairman are evaluated. In the end the expected profit is also calculated.
Assumptions used in the model:
a. The system consists of one main unit and two associate units.
b. The associate unit A and B works with the help of main units.
c. There is a single repairman which repairs the failed units on priority basis.
d. After random period of time the whole system goes to preventive maintenance.
e. All units work as new after repair.
f. The failure rates of all the units are taken to be exponential whereas the repair time distributions are arbitrary.
g. Switching devices are perfect and instantaneous.

7. Mean time to System failure-
Time to system failure can be regarded as the first passage time to the failed state. To obtain it we regard the down state
as absorbing. Using the argument as for the regenerative process, we obtain the following recursive relations.

Let
M i (t )(i 0,1,2) denote the probability that system is initially in regenerative state S i E is up at time t without
passing through any other regenerative state or returning to itself through one or more non regenerative states .i.e. either it
continues to remain in regenerative S i or a non regenerative state including itself . By probabilistic arguments, we have the
following recursive relations
