Abstract
This paper provides an alternative valuation approach to reliability design based a concept of Value at Risk (VaR) used in finance to measure risk exposure. An accounting of the direct and indirect costs combined with the costs needed to meet contingent claims in case of default is used to redefine the traditional reliability design problem, resulting is a nonlinear optimization problem which we can solve by the usual methods. Applications are used to demonstrate the approach used.
