Abstract: This paper studies a machine repair problem with repairman’s single working vacation in which repairman works with a lower repair rate rather than completely terminating repair during vacation period. Employing Markov process theory and matrix analytical method, various system performance measures are obtained in transient and stationary regimes. Moreover, we deduce the system reliability, the mean time to failure, the repairman’s busy period and the waiting time of failed machine by using the probabilistic properties of phase type distribution. Further, some numerical examples are provided. Finally, a cost model is developed to determine the optimum value of operating machines.
