摘要：

Consider the problem of achieving optimal system size, n, and threshold value, k, for {k,n - k + 1}-out-of-n & majority systems with competing failure modes. Components are s-independent and identically distributed, and the two system failure modes can have different costs. We determine optimal k, given n; optimal n, given k; and optimal k,n. Optimal implies minimum mean system cost for the {k,n -k+ 1}-out-of-n or majority system. We study the behavior of the optimal k as a function of failure probabilities, and of maximizing the reliability of majority systems. Numerical examples illustrate the results.
