Solving a Joint Availability-Redundancy Optimization Model with Multi-State Components with Meta-Heuristic

This paper has been worked on a RAP with multi-state components and the performance rate of each component working state may increase by spending technical and organizational activities costs. Whereas RAP belongs to Np-Hard problems, we used Genetic algorithm (GA) and simulated annealing (SA) and for solving the presented problem and calculating system reliability universal generating function (UGF) have been used.
