Abstract
An effective way to increase system reliability is to use redundancies (spares) into the systems either in component level or in system level. In this prospect, it is a significant issue that which set of available spares providing better system reliability in some stochastic sense. In this paper, we derive sufficient conditions under which a coherent system with a set of active redundancy at the component level or the system level provide better system reliability than that of the system with another set of redundancy, with respect some stochastic orders. We have derived the results for the component lifetimes following accelerated life (AL) model. The results obtained help us to design more reliable systems by allocating appropriate redundant components from the set of available options for the same. Various examples satisfying the sufficient conditions of the theoretical results are provided. Some results are illustrated with real-world data.
期刊介绍:
ASMBI - Applied Stochastic Models in Business and Industry (formerly Applied Stochastic Models and Data Analysis) was first published in 1985, publishing contributions in the interface between stochastic modelling, data analysis and their applications in business, finance, insurance, management and production. In 2007 ASMBI became the official journal of the International Society for Business and Industrial Statistics (www.isbis.org). The main objective is to publish papers, both technical and practical, presenting new results which solve real-life problems or have great potential in doing so. Mathematical rigour, innovative stochastic modelling and sound applications are the key ingredients of papers to be published, after a very selective review process.
The journal is very open to new ideas, like Data Science and Big Data stemming from problems in business and industry or uncertainty quantification in engineering, as well as more traditional ones, like reliability, quality control, design of experiments, managerial processes, supply chains and inventories, insurance, econometrics, financial modelling (provided the papers are related to real problems). The journal is interested also in papers addressing the effects of business and industrial decisions on the environment, healthcare, social life. State-of-the art computational methods are very welcome as well, when combined with sound applications and innovative models.
