Abstract

To achieve the system’s reliability, an approach for the complex series-parallel system has been proposed. This approach is based on the universal generating function (UGF) technique. UGF provides the state performance and state probabilities, expected time, expected cost, MTTF, tail signature and signature of the proposed complex system. In this paper, complex series-parallel system has three subsystems, where subsystem A and subsystem B are connected with subsystem C in series. Subsystem A and subsystem B are connected in parallel while subsystem A has two components in series. To demonstrate the approach, a numerical example is taken for independent identical design.
