Availability Analysis of a Markovian System with Preventive Maintenance

Y. Lee

This paper deals with a Markovian queueing system, where the system can fail partially, fail completely, or be shutdown for preventive maintenance. The partially failed system can fail completely, or be shutdown for preventive maintenance. When completely failed, the system is repaired. The system works as new after preventive maintenance or repair. The steady-state availability is analized analytically and some numerical results are given.
