The system is composed of four units labelled as A, B, C and D. The configuration involves two parallel subsystems: the first containing units A, B and C arranged in series and the second comprising a single unit D. The failure rate of units is assumed to follow the Rayleigh distribution. With the use of the decomposition method, cut set method and event space method, expressions for both reliability and Mean Time to System Failure (MTSF) have been derived. By considering all units to be identical, the reliability measures have been obtained numerically for specific parameter values. The trends of these measures have been represented graphically to understand the effect of parameters. The study has its practical significance in assessing the reliability of solar panel system. .

The rice diversification system is a solution to the potential byproducts of rice and cattle. The purpose of this research is to explain rice system diversification in increasing farming productivity as an alternative solution. There were two secondary dataused. Rice production and beef cattle production were from the Central Statistics Agency in West Java Province and Indramayu district (2013-2017). The development of beef cattle was supported by the Organic Fertilizer Processing Unit program (2013-2017). The secondary data were analyzed descriptively. The results of this study were positive beef cattle population growth of 18.43 percent during the period 2013-2017, the average number of beef cattle per year as much as 11,012 tails, the average amount of beef cattle manure per year in solid form as much as 116,943,192 tons and liquid as much as 55,894,882 liters and the population of beef cattle still needs to be increased because the amount of solid manure of freshly available beef cattle could be absorbed as much as 3.35 percent for increased productivity of rice fields. Indonesian government assistance was very much needed by rice farmers groups in carrying out a rice diversification system through the Organic Fertilizer Processing Unit program.
