This paper deals with the study of the stochastic analysis of a two-unit cold standby system considering hardware failure, human error failure and preventive maintenance (PM). All time distributions are considered to be arbitrary. Various measures of reliability of the system are obtained using the regenerative point technique. All these measures are also derived based on time
