A satisfactory level function is defined using the objective function for the multi-objective reliability optimization model. It is synthesized into a general one by means of a multi-objective optimization operator and weighted exponents. In this paper, a single-objective optimization model to maximize the general satisfactory level is set up. Its solution is the Pareto solution of the multi-objective optimization model, which can be taken as the satisfactory solution of the multi-objective optimization model. Finally, a numerical example to find the satisfactory solution of a multi-objective reliability optimization of a series system is provided.
