            Abstract : 
For the maintenance of repairable system of the alpha series, under the situation that the system. For the α-series process of the repairable system with a single vacation repairman and delay repair, this paper gives a replaced policy. Assume the damaged system can not be repaired as a new one and the repairmen can be repaired immediately in p probability and the repair is delayed in probability, under this situation, according to the α-series process, we get the average cost rate of the system under the policy N. And we also use a numerical example to illustrate the maintenance model mentioned in this paper.
