✦ Synopsis

We measure the effectiveness of a repairable system by the proportion of time the system is on, where on-time and off-times are assumed independent and both gamma-distributed. This measure is helpful for system planning and control in the short term, before the steady-state is reached, and its mean value is intermediary between instantaneous and steady-state availabilities. We also present other significant results concerning the Gamma Alternating Renewal Process.
