  • Abstract
    The optimal design of system reliability which takes into account the quantitative aspect of systems throughput or capacity is proposed. It is based on the concept of an r-out-of-n configuration instead of the conventional parallel 1-out-of-n configuration and is especially suitable for treating problems which arise in process systems. The problem is solved by the pseudo-Boolean programming method of Lawler and Bell.
