Summary :

If there is high uncertainty in the reliability of a system, it is required to know for which components to collect further failure data for making the uncertainty lower. This paper provides some solutions for such a requirement. First, the variance importance of a component is defined as a measure of component's contribution to the variance of the distribution of system unreliability. For reducing the system-variance efficiently, it would be suitable to collect failure data of comopnents having greater values of variance importance. Next, in the situation that we will perform life tests of components for making the variance of the distribution of system failure-rate smaller than its prior value, some problems for determinig both the number of samples to be tested and the test time for each component are formulated and solved.
