Abstract
Systems with exponential life formed from independent IFRA components are studied. It is shown that (a) in the case of monotonic systems, the system must be essentially a series system of exponential components and (b) in the case of systems whose life is the sum of component lives, all but one of the components are degenerate at zero while the remaining one is exponential.
