abstract = {Problem statement: The study deals with a standby system consisting of two units. Initially
one unit is operative and the other is standby. When both the units are failed then there is a provision
of switching over to the other similar system. This practical situation may be observed in an oil
refinery plant. Real data on failure and repair rates of such units collected from oil refinery plant, Pani
pat, India have been used for present study. Approach: The system is analyzed by making use of
semi-Markov processes and regenerative point technique. Results: Expression for the expected profit is
obtained after obtaining various measures of system effectiveness. Graphical analysis is also done for a
particular case and various interpretations are made. Conclusion: Upper/lower limits for various
rates/costs/probabilities can be obtained to get the positive profit for the system and to decide about the
least value of the price of the product to be produced.},
