Abstract

The problem of reliability minimization is considered. One of the available approaches to solving this problem, namely bPOE, is analyzed. The advantages and disadvantages of this approach are determined. It is noted that the results of minimizing the probability of failures in the classical setting and minimizing the bPOE may differ. A new method of reliability optimization in the classical formulation of the problem is proposed. A comparative analysis of the results of reliability minimization using the bPOE and the results obtained by the proposed method is carried out.
