Abstract

Reliability importance of a component is a quantitative measure of the importance of the individual component in contributing to system reliability. In this paper, we discuss the contribution of an individual component to the performance utility of a multi-state consecutive k -out-of- n : G system, based on the utility importance of a component’s state in multi-state systems given by S.Wu and L.Y.Chan (2003), and we illustrate by an example.
