%X The present paper deals with the configurational modeling and stochastic analysis of acomplex reparable system model based on cold-drink making system. The considered systemconsists of a number of sub-systems of varying nature. The stochastic analysis of the consideredsystem model is carried out by using regenerative point technique under the assumption that allfailure rates are constant and repair rates are general. In the present system model, the concept ofcommon cause failure is also incorporated. The expressions for several systems characteristicssuch as reliability, MTSF, steady state availability, busy period and expected profit have beenobtained. MTSF and profit function have also been widely studied through graphs taking repairtime distributions as exponential.
