Abstract(in English) In a multi-state system, the both of the system and the components are allowed to be in M+1 possible states, where M is a positive integer that represents the system or components in perfectly working state, while zero is completely failure state. For consecutive-k-out-of-n:F system, the optimal arrangement problem wherein the solution is obtained by the arrangement of components with maximum system reliability is one of the most important problem in this system. So, we consider optimal component arrangement for a multi-state consecutive-k-out-of-n:F system which has maximum of the expectation value of the system state distribution when these components arranged to the positions in the system. In this study, we investigated characteristics of optimal arrangement in multi-state consecutive-k-out-of-n:F system. And, we showed a trend for characteristics of invariant optimal arrangement in the multi-state consecutive-k-out-of-n:F system by using mathematical approach and heuristic approach.
