Reliability is a critical subject in engineering field. Increasing system’s reliability is one of the challenging parts of engineering. There are several structures for reliability’s model and one of them is k-out-of-n. Redundancy allocation problem (RAP) is a method to improve system reliability. It is divided into two types, namely, active and standby subsystems. Standby subsystem is divided into Cold, Warm and Hot standby. This study is focused on solving redundancy allocation reliability model by using genetic algorithm (GA). A k-out-of-n reliability’s system is chosen as a case study which was introduced by Coit (2003).
