%0 Journal Article %T A Memtic genetic algorithm for a redundancy allocation problem %A M. EbrahimNezhad Moghadam Rashti %A B. M. Vishkaei %A R. Esmaeilpour %J International Journal of Applied Operational Research %D 2012 %I Islamic Azad University %X In general redundancy allocation problems the redundancy strategy for each subsystem is predetermined. Tavakkoli- Moghaddam presented a series-parallel redundancy allocation problem with mixing components (RAPMC) in which the redundancy strategy can be chosen for individual subsystems. In this paper, we present a bi-objective redundancy allocation when the redundancy strategies for subsystems are considered as a variable of the problem. As the problem belongs to the NP-hard class problems, we will present a new approach for the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGAII) and Memtic algorithm (MA) with each one to solve the multi-objective model.
