Abstract
In this paper, we study stochastic comparisons of two fail-safe systems with dependent components having an Archimedean copula for the joint survival function and general exponentiated location-scale lifetime distributions. We first present sufficient conditions for the usual stochastic order between fail-safe systems when the components have different exponentiated location-scale distributions but with the same Archimedean copula. Next, the hazard rate ordering of fail-safe systems is discussed when the components in the two systems are independent and follow multiple-outlier exponentiated location-scale models. Several examples are then presented to illustrate the theoretical results established here.
