Abstract

A k-out-of-n: G system has n independent non-identical components; the system fails if any k components fail. This paper gives simple and efficient computational method for determining the system reliability of k out of n systems having unequal and equal reliabilities for components. In both the cases, for a given n and k the system reliability is product of only pi values where as in all the other existing methods system reliability is product of pi and qi values.
