Abstract
In this paper, we investigate ordering properties of lifetimes of parallel systems with two independent heterogeneous exponential components in terms of the mean residual life order. We establish, among others, that the reciprocal majorization order between parameter vectors implies the mean residual life order between the lifetimes of two parallel systems. We then extend this result to the proportional hazard rate models.
