The IFR property of the stochastic process governing a one-component system supported by an inactive standby and a repair facility when the lifetime of one component and the repair time of the other component are dependent, is established. We solve the problem of selecting repair rates to maximize the steady-state availability for given component failure rates when a lower bound for the MTBF and upper bounds for the steady-state expected number of repairs of the components per unit time and expected number of failures of the system per unit time are given.
