The inter-organizational systems (IOS) are considered to be the most important instrument that can link manufacturers and suppliers in the supply chain. When the Internet expands, the role of IOS moves from being merely an operational tool to becoming a collaborative commercial instrument, thus, to improve the integrate effectiveness of the supply chain. This study emphasizes two major dimensions:...
The reliability importance of a component is a partial derivative of the system reliability with respect to this component reliability. When all components are i.i.d., the reliability importance is called the B-importance. Relationships between reliability allocation and the reliability importance for general coherent systems are explored. The invariant optimal allocation is an allocation related...
A consecutive-k-out-of-n : F system is an n-component system that fails when k consecutive components fail. The structure importance is a measure, which indicates the importance of a component relative to its positioning in the system. Through the relationship to the Fibonacci sequence with order k, a closed-form solution of structure importance for each component is obtained. We obtain a complete...
