Abstract: In this paper we give a reliability analysis of a stand‐by system with repair, consisting of N working and NR stand‐by units. Failed and repaired units are collected in intermediate stocks. Concerning the delivery from the intermediate stocks we consider two rules: (i) the collected units are delivered in fixed time intervals; (ii) the units will be delivered when there are k units accumulated. The system fails if a unit that has failed cannot be replaced by a stand‐by unit. Using a point process approach we derive approximations for the stationary availability and mean time between failures of the system. Numerical results show that the proposed approximations, which can be handled easily, work well.
