Abstract: We measure the effectiveness of a repairable system by the proportion of time the system is on, where on‐time and off‐times are assumed independent and both gamma‐distributed. This measure is helpful for system planning and control in the short term, before the steady‐state is reached, and its mean value is intermediary between instantaneous and steady‐state availabilities. We also present other significant results concerning the Gamma Alternating Renewal Process. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Naval Research Logistics 46: 822–844, 1999
