Abstract

Let X1 and X2 be independent random variables representing the lifetimes of the components C1 and C2, and Y1 and Y2 be random variables, independent of X1 and X2, representing the lifetimes of the spares R1 and R2, respectively. Suppose that the components C1 and C2 form a series system. There are two options for using one of the spares R1 or R2 as an active redundancy: to allocate R1 in parallel with C1 or R2 in parallel with C2. In this paper we compare these options using failure rate ordering.
