Abstract
This article investigates some properties of the mean residual life function of (n−k+1)-out-of-n systems, when the lifetimes of the system components are independent random variables but not necessarily identically distributed and when the joint distribution of the component lifetimes is exchangeable, extending the results of Asadi and Goliforushani (2008) [On the mean residual life function of coherent systems. IEEE Transactions on Reliability 57 (4) 574–580] for the case of independent and identically distributed components. The extension to a coherent system with exchangeable components is also given.
