Abstract :
Safety is main concern before designing the system. Most of the theories’ are applied for improving the safety of the system, but the reliability theory plays a important role for designing the system as such, that we reach the higher levels of safety.In this paper, a Series- Parallel system is considered for reliability improvement. The said system is a combination of three items in which, two items are connected in parallel and third item is connected in series. It is assumed that the items are independent and follows alpha power Rama distribution. Two methods are applied to this system in order to enhance its reliability. In each method, different set of items are considered for improvement. A data analysis is performed, to compare different improvement methods. At last we find that among these methods, reduction method is proved to be best method for improving the system reliability.

Key-Words / Index Term :
Reliability Analysis, Reduction Method, Hot Duplication Method.
