Abstract

The effect of adding standby redundancy at system and component level is studied. Compared with parallel redundancy, standby redundancy is both easier to implement and more essential in the study of maintenance policies. However, standby redundancy at the component level is not always better than that at the system level, whereas it is always better for parallel redundancy. We show that for a series (parallel) system, standby redundancy is more effective at the component (system) level. © 1991 IEEE
