Analysis and genetic algorithm optimization of a series system with K-out-of-(n + m): G mixed standby subsystems subject to imperfect switching and elapsed repair time

PurposeIn this paper, a new general system consisted of l subsystems connected in series is introduced. Each subsystem connected in K-out-of-(n + m): G mixed standby configuration.Design/methodology/approachThe lifetime of the system's units is assumed to be exponentially distributed and there...
