Abstract
Allocation of active [standby] redundancies in a system is a topic of great interest in reliability engineering and system safety because optimal configurations can significantly increase the reliability of a system. In this paper, we study the problem of allocating two exponentially distributed active [standby] redundancies in a two-component series system using the tools of stochastic ordering. We establish two interesting results on likelihood ratio ordering which have no restriction on the parameters.
