In enhancing the reliability of systems, the redundancy allocation problem emerges as a direct avenue in the initial product design phase. These problems involve various components with different parameters such as cost, weight, and volume, aiming to allocate a number of different types of components to each subsystem in a way that optimizes the objective function. Due to the complexity of these problems, traditional optimization methods may not be feasible. To address this challenge, the utilization of metaheuristic approaches such as the genetic algorithm is necessary, leading to the generation of an optimal Pareto set. Two methods are employed to reduce the volume of solution sets. The first method involves pruning the solution set through non-numeric preference ranking, assisting the decision-maker in selecting solutions based on prioritization. The second method employs data clustering techniques to group similar data points into clusters. The k-means algorithm is utilized to present this technique, providing a general solution for presentation to the decision-maker.
