This paper presents a comprehensive profit analysis of the Green Valley Vegetable Processing Plant in Haryana, employing advanced reliability engineering methods and the Regenerative Point Graphical Technique (RPGT). The plant, comprising interconnected units for sorting, freezing, packaging, and quality assurance, is modeled as a multi-state system with possibilities for progressive degradation and staged repair. Analytical expressions are derived for key performance metrics, including mean time to system failure (MTSF), system availability, server busy period, expected inspections, and profit function under varying failure and repair rates. Sensitivity analysis reveals how maintenance policies and subsystem reliability impact operational efficiency and profitability. The findings offer actionable insights for plant managers to optimize preventive maintenance, allocate resources effectively, and enhance the economic viability of vegetable processing operations in agro-industrial settings.
