Abstract :
This paper is concerned with a 2-unit parallel system with priority repair. The priority rule is a mixture of several disciplines. The optimal priority rule minimizes the s-expected total discounted time in which the system is failed. The optimality of Late Preemption Rule is shown and the effect of the rule on the availability of the system is investigated.
