摘要：

How does an engineer designing a subsystem decide between one subsystem and a more reliable but more costly one? This paper provides a tool for the engineer to help make that choice. It provides methods for selecting redundancy levels in k-out-of-n:G systems in order to minimize particular cost considerations where the k-out-of-n:G system is a subsystem of a major system. The n and k are chosen to minimize the total cost of the subsystem plus the average loss due to subsystem failure. A BASIC program is available to determine the n and k which find this minimum. Five loss functions are considered, and illustrations are given.
