Abstract: This investigation is concerned with the reliability analysis of redundant repairable system which is supported by mixed standby and two repairmen who turn on according to a threshold N-policy. The first repairman never takes a vacation while the second repairman leaves for a vacation of random length when the number of failed components is less than N. The concepts of standby switching failure, degradation and common cause failure are incorporated to predict the performance metrics of the real time redundant repairable system. By developing Markov model, the transient queue size distribution and expressions for the system reliability, mean time to system failure and other performance measures are obtained. The sensitivity analysis is performed by taking numerical illustration. The model is also examined computationally by employing the adaptive network-based fuzzy interference system (ANFIS) approach to compute the system descriptors. Using supervised learning process, the comparison between the ANFIS results and analytical results are made.
