In repairable systems with redundancy, failed units can be replaced by spare units in order to reduce the system downtime. The failed units are sent to a repair shop or manufacturer for corrective maintenance and subsequently are returned for re-use. In this paper we consider a 1 out of n system with cold standby and we assume that repaired units are "as good as new".
