Abstract
This paper studies the reliability characteristics of a repairable system with M operating machines, S spare machines. The diffusion approximation technique has been used for multirepairman problem having spares with Poisson interfailure time distribution and exponential repair time distribution. The repair is assumed to be statedependent. We present derivations for the approximate formulae of the average number of failed components and the expected number of components operating in the system.
