Abstract:A one component system with the mean time to failure following general time distributions is used as the subject and which is also affected by corrective maintenance (CM), preventive maintenance (PM), stock level, degrading and failed components repair turnaround. The opportunity of operating CM and PM is governed by the state of the system and also the stocks on hand. By defining the system's state space and the sojourn time of each state, the state equation is derived with the supplementary variable method. Since in the state equation all the time distributions involved are not exponential,
