Abstract: In reliability theory, technical systems are often modeled using Series-Parallel configurations, which provide a structured framework to analyze the relationship between the lifetimes of individual components and the overall system reliability. These configurations build upon the foundational concept of Parallel-Series systems and are widely used in system design and optimization. Traditionally, system optimization focuses on constraints such as cost. However, additional factors like weight, volume, size, and space also play critical roles, particularly in applications such as AC motor control units. This paper investigates the impact of multiple constraints on optimizing system reliability. We explore an Integrated Redundant Reliability Parallel-Series configuration system, specifically designed to address these multidimensional constraints. The model is developed and solved using the Lagrangean multiplier method (LMM), providing real-valued solutions for critical parameters, including the number of components, component reliability, stage reliability, and overall system reliability. To ensure practical applicability, integer solutions are derived by employing the Newton- Raphson method during the analytical process. This comprehensive approach facilitates a deeper understanding of how multiple constraints influence system reliability and offers valuable insights for optimizing complex technical systems.
