A binary coherent system for which the repair of faulty components may be performed after system failure only (off-line repair) is considered in the paper. Assuming that the individual component lifetimes are independent and that the system operates continuously, new formulae for computing the MTTR and M l l b of the system are derived. The Sum of Disjoint Product (SDP) methods for simultaneous computation of the MTTR and M Г1F is presented in the paper. The results are illustrated by some examples.

W artykule rozpatruje się dwustanowy system koherentny, którego elementy mogą być naprawiane dopiero po uszkodzenu systemu. Zakładając, że czasy pracy elementów są wzajemnie niezależne oraz że system pracuje w sposób ciągły, otrzymano nowe wzory na obliczanie M1T F i MTTR systemu. Przedstawiono metodę sumy rozłącznych iloczynów do jednoczesnego obliczana MTTR i MTTF systemu. Wyniki pracy zilustrowano przykładami, zarówno prostymi jak i złożonymi.
