ResumoThe distribution of time to first system failure is considered for systems whose repairable components are separately maintained. It is shown that if repairable components have exponential failure law, repair distributions have decreasing repair rate, and nonrepairable components have increasing failure rate, then the distribution of time to first system failure is new better than used. Improved bounds are given for the exponential repair case.
