Summary :

This paper considers a fleet system which consists of n equipments. The system is operated intermittently repeating a system operation period and a system standby period alternatively. In each system operation period, any c of n equipments are required to operate. Each equipment undergoes overhaul (O/H) after prespecified periods (or numbers) of operation. We obtain the availability of the system assuming the following disciplines for the O/H interval and the failure probability. The O/H interval is scheduled by calendar time (Case 1) or actual operating time (Case 2). The failure probability of an equipment is constant in each operation (Model 1) or depends on the number of operations after O/H (Model 2). This analysis aims at the determination of the rational O/H interval and the number of the equipments in the system. Also it can be applied to the problem of spares provisioning for a system with O/H.
