Document Summary
Customers can reply on products and services to be carried out to specifications and on time. System with series components: reliability of a system with series components is the product of reliabilities of all the involved, (rs = r(cid:1005) x r(cid:1006) x x rn, where: rs= reliability of the system. Rn = reliability of component n: exercise 1, lamp1 (0. 80) lamp 2 (0. 70) , rs= r1 x r2, rs = 0. 80 x 0. 70 = 0. 56. System with series components: enhance overall reliability, overdesign: improve the design to avoid failure (e. g. , use more durable material, design simplification: reduce number of components in the product/ system, redundancy in the design: provide backup components. System with parallel components: providing redundancy (backup components, redundancy is provided to ensure that if one component fails, the system recourse to another, reliability of a system with parallel components is the probability that the.
