Because lifetimes of systems are not deterministic, partially, orders are used for comparison purposes which lead us to provide optimal system configurations. This paper deals with a signature‐based dispersive ordering of mixed systems. It is assumed that component lifetimes are independent and identically distributed, and the common distribution has a decreasing failure rate function. Some illustrative examples are also given.
