T1 - Optimal system-profit design of series-parallel systems with multiple failure modes
AU - Pham, Hoang
PY - 1993
Y1 - 1993
N2 - The problem is to achieve optimal subsystem size (m) for series-parallel systems assuming that failure may take either of two forms. Components are independent and identically distributed (j.j.d) and the two kinds of system failures can have different costs. In this paper, we determine the optimal subsystem size (m) that maximizes the average system-profit and show how m depends on system parameters. We also determine the optimal m that maximizes the average system-profit subject to a system failure in open mode. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the results.
