The residual lifetime is of significant interest in reliability and survival analysis. In this article, we obtain a mixture representation for the reliability function of the residual lifetime of a coherent system with heterogeneous components in terms of the reliability functions of residual lifetimes of order statistics. Some stochastic comparisons are made on the residual lifetimes of the systems. Some examples are also given to illustrate the main results.
