Abstract
This paper combines research in the areas of replacement and machine interference. Although over the past three decades there has been a great deal of research in the area of optimal replacement for stochastically deteriorating equipment and research dealing with machine interference problems : there has been a lack of research when these two areas are combined. However, the melding of these two well-known areas yields a very practical problem which demands theoretical investigation. In this paper we derive the steady state probabilities with a control limit policy for a two-machine one repairman problem. The control policy is a simple age dependent control described by the control limit,
