This paper derives maximum likelihood and minimum variance unbiased estimates of reliability that can be expected from a system with two non-identical components in series, using censored samples. The components are assumed to possess a twoparameter exponential life distribution with parameters (α1, θ1) and (α2, θ2) respectively. The estimates are obtained in all the four possible cases, namely, α1 = α2, θ1 = θ2; α1 = α2, θ1 ≠ θ2; α1 ≠ α2, θ1 = θ2; and (α1 ≠ α2, θ1 ≠ θ2. A numerical example is given to illustrate the estimates.
