We define and study a system whose performance levels are determined by its total number of working components and structure. That is, the more working components the better performance level for the system. This enables us to make a more detailed analysis of a binary system. We obtain the distributions of the time that is spent by the system in a specific state subset and a specific state. Our analysis is based on the use of system signature. We also define an optimization problem concerned with the determination of the number of warm standby components.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCoherent systemOrder statisticsReliabilitySignatureArticleQ12121115125WOS:0003294567000087
