Abstract
This paper deals with an (n + 1)-unit warm standby system based on imperfect repair facility and two types of failures. These types of failure are hardware and human error failures. Various measures of the system reliability are obtained using the regenerative point technique. Finally a numerical example is presented to illustrate the theoretical results.
