Optimal k Value for the Profit Maximizing in the k out of n : open & close Systems

  • Published : 1993.06.01

Abstract

This Paper shows a special case of the optimization criterion is to make the maximum profit in the system reliability of the k out of n open & close structure. Especially, the number of the optimal k is determined for the profit maximization in system reliability by deriving several properties of the optimal k out of n systems in one of four possible styles(closed & opened).
