Abstract
In this paper a recursive method is developed to obtain the steady sta te probability distribution of the number of down machines at arbitrar y time epoch of a machine interference problem with spares. Various sy stem performance measures, such as average number of down machines, av erage waiting time for repair, average number of spare machines, avera ge number of operating machines, machine availability and operator uti lization, etc., have been obtained for a variety of repair time distri butions.
