Optimal Allocation of Components in k-out-of-R Parallel Modules Systems
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 July 2009
Abstract
In this note using the notion of node criticality in Boland, Proschan, and Tong [2] and modular decompositions of coherent systems, we obtain algorithms and guidelines for allocating components in a k-out-of-R parallel modules system to maximize the system reliability. An illustrative example is given to compare a special case of our results with the previous result for series-parallel systems due to El-Neweihi, Proschan, and Sethuraman [5].
