This paper investigates the reliability and operational efficiency of a 3:4::G system, a critical configuration widely used in industrial plant operations, focusing on the quantification of Mean Time to System Failure (MTSF) and the Proportional Busy Period of the Server (PBPS). Applying the Regenerative Point Graphical Technique (RPGT) and continuous-time Markov process modeling, the study analyzes the effects of varying failure and repair rates on system longevity and maintenance server utilization. The results demonstrate the sensitivity of these key performance indicators to both component reliability and maintenance efficiency. Through detailed mathematical formulation and sensitivity analysis, the research provides actionable insights for plant managers aiming to optimize maintenance strategies and minimize operational downtime. The findings serve as a blueprint for reliability-centered management in complex industrial systems, highlighting the importance of data-driven preventive maintenance and resource allocation.
