Purpose ? To present a new Split System Model (SSM) that predicts the reliability of complex systems with multiple Preventive Maintenance (PM) actions in the long term. Design/methodology/approach - The SSM was developed using probability theory based on the concept of separating repaired and...

In this paper, an algorithm for the fast computation of network reliability bounds is proposed. The evaluation of the network reliability is an intractable problem for very large networks, and hence approximate solutions based on reliability bounds have assumed importance. The proposed bounds...
