Abstract
The aim of this work is to generalize reliability equivalence techniques to apply them to a system consists of two independent and non-identical components connected in series(parallel) system, that have constant failure rates. We shall improve the system by using one component only. We start by establishing two different types of reliability equivalence factors, the survival reliability equivalence (SRE) and mean reliability equivalence (MRE) factors. Our second studies, introducing some applications for our studies in airports and our life. Also, we introduced some numerical results.
