Let Cλi and CMi be respectively the cost to increase the mean time
to failure and to increase the restoration rate of component i per
hour, for i = 1, 2, · · · , n. The cost functions will then be
Cλ2i 2
CM i
rλi = k
, rMi = k
(8)
P P
(Cλi + CMi ) Cλi (Cλi + CMi ) CMi
i=1 i=1
In situations where
I there is no room (or desire) for improvement for the failure rate or the restoration time of a
component, the value of the associated relative cost (r) should be one.
I improvement is known to be impossible (or undesired) for both the failure rate and restoration
time of a component, the following modification is necessary. Suppose no improvement is allowed
for component l, the unavailability contribution reduction factors should be adjusted as
∗ k · σka − σl
βi = , i 6= l (9)
