  ABSTRACT: In this paper, the problem of optimum allocation of repairable and replaceable components in a system is formulated as a Bi-objective stochastic non linear programming problem. The system maintenance time and cost are random variable and has gamma and normal distribution respectively. A Bi-criteria optimization technique, weighted Tchebycheff is used to obtain the optimum allocation for a system. A numerical example is also presented to illustrate the computational details.
