A merge production system which has parallel stations in the first stage followed by a single station in the second stage is analysed in connection with the production rate of the system. A mathematical model is developed using semi‐regenerative process and a system of convolution integral...

Analyses an n ‐unit cold‐standby system with a single repair facility under the assumption that the failure and repair times are arbitrarily distributed. Develops a mathematical model using semi‐regenerative processes. Obtains a system of integral equations satisfied by various state...
