Abstract—Profit analysis of a reliability model for one-unit system with post inspection, post repair, preventive maintenance and replacement has been presented. Expressions for reliability measures are obtained by using semi-Markov processes and regenerative point technique. Graphical study is made and cut-off points for various rates/costs to study the economic aspect have been obtained.
