Abstract :
Adding parallel redundancy to different components generally yields different system reliability improvements. The effect of such parallel redundancy upon system reliability when applied at various places and in various systems is investigated. The problem of how to choose components for parallel redundancy is studied, and some results are given. Some examples are presented to illustrate the approach
