Asymptotic Confidence Limits for Performance Measures of a Repairable System with Imperfect Service Station

This article studies the asymptotic confidence limits for the steady-state availability, failure frequency, and mean time to failure of a repairable K-out-of-(M + S) system with M operating devices, S spares, and an imperfect service station that may be interrupted by a breakdown when it is repairing for the failed devices.
