A transport company has 4 trucks of the same type. There are 2 maintenance teams for repairing the trucks after a failure. Each team can repair only one truck at a time and each failed truck is handled by only one team. The times between failures of a truck (lifetime) is exponential with parameter λ The repair times are exponen with parameter All life and repair times are assumed to be independent. Let
What is the most efficient way of organizing the work:
1) to make both maintenance teams responsible for the maintenance of all 4 trucks so that any team which is free can repair any failed truck, or
2) to assign 2 definite trucks to each team?
