Popis: This paper proposes a reliability test plan for a series system, by considering the parameter /spl lambda//sub j/ of the exponential distribution to be a random variable having uniform distribution over [0, /spl theta//sub j/], j = 1, 2,..., n. Explicit expressions are obtained for the optimal values of the t/sub j/, when the number of components in the system is 2. The general solution, albeit implicit, has also been obtained when the number of components in a given system is /spl ges/3. Mathematical programming is used to find the optimal solution and to illustrate it with numerical results.
