This paper takes up the reliability and preventive replacement problems for aK-out-of-nsystem, whereKis a stochastic parameter provided. Firstly, we consider the case whenKis predefined as constant numbers as is done with the traditional method, and obtain the system reliabilityR(t), mean time to failure (MTTF), and replacement policies, in which the numbernof units for replacement and replacement timeTof operation are, respectively, optimized. Secondly, we focus on the above discussions again whenKcannot be predefined constantly, but it is a random variable with an estimated probability function. Furthermore, we give approximate computations in an easier way for MTTF, optimal numbern* and replacement timeT*, respectively.
