Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the reliability indices such as reliability, mean time to failure and sensitivity analysis. Design/methodology/approach A non-repairable multi-state complex system with two subsystems, namely, S 1 and S 2 , is studied. The subsystems S 1 and S 2...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to compute the signature reliability of the coherent systems. Design/methodology/approach The considered k -out-of- n coherent system consists of n number of elements connected in series. With the help of these systems, the authors have evaluated a...
