Abstract

The term “redundancy” refers to the way a system can work even when some components have failed. All the coherent systems except the series systems have redundancy mechanisms in their structure functions. Moreover, sometimes, we may try to improve the reliability of a given system by adding some redundant components at different critical points. Other popular redundancy options are to add standby components in the system to replace the failed components or to repair these failed components. The main questions analyzed in this chapter are: What is the reliability of the (new) redundant system? What are the best points in the structure to add the redundant components? Which one is the best redundancy option? We also study some component importance indices that can be used to determine the best replacement options.
