Reliability study of a coherent system with single general standby component

In this paper, the properties of a coherent system equipped with a single general standby component is investigated. Here, the standby component may initially be put into cold state and is switched over to warm state after a certain time period, up to which the system certainly does not fail. Then the standby component in warm state starts to work in active state at the time of failure of a component which may cause the system failure. Here three different switch over cases regarding the state changes of the standby component are considered. Numerical examples are also provided.
