In this paper we assume that the life time of a test unit follows a log-logistic distribution with known scale parameter. Tables of optimum times of changing stress level for simple step-stress plans under a cumulative exposure model are obtained by minimizing the asymptotic variance of the maximum likelihood estimator of the model parameters at the design stress with respect to the change time.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to design a simple step-stress model under type-I censoring when the failure time has an extension of the exponential distribution. Design/methodology/approach – The scale parameter of the distribution is assumed to be a log-linear function of the stress and a cumulative exposure model is hold. The maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters, as well as the corresponding Fisher information matrix are derived. Two real examples are given to show the application of an extension of the exponential distribution in reliability studies and a numerical example is presented to illustrate the method discussed here. Findings – A simple step-stress test under cumulative exposure model and type-I censoring for an extension of the exponential distribution is presented. Originality/value – The work is original.

Abstract We consider an open problem of obtaining the optimal operational sequence for the 1-out-of-n system with warm standby. Using the virtual age concept and the cumulative exposure model, we show that the components should be activated in accordance with the increasing sequence of their lifetimes. Lifetimes of the components and the system are compared with respect to the stochastic precedence order and its generalization. Only specific cases of this optimal problem were considered in the literature previously.
