Cost Analysis of a Compound System with the Concept of Waiting

Abstract

In this research paper the authors, Suppose a compound system having two sub-systems namely ‘P’ and ‘Q’ connected in chain. Sub-system ‘P’ consists of n unlike units in chain, while sub-system ‘Q’ consists of m like units chain. The compound system is subjected to minor failure, major failure critical human failure and common cause failure.

Keywords – Asymptotic behavior, Availability of function, Abel lemma, Cost function and Supplementary variable technique.
