Abstract
We introduce in this paper a new measure of component importance, called redundancy importance, in coherent systems. It is a measure of importance for the situation in which an active redundancy is to be made in a coherent system. This measure of component importance is compared with both the (Birnbaum) reliability importance and the structural importance of a component in a coherent system. Various models of component redundancy are studied, with particular reference to k/out / of / n systems, parallel-series systems, and series-parallel systems.
