Abstract
Abstract The GO methodology is an effective method of system reliability analysis. It has been applied to non-repairable systems. This paper discusses the application of the GO method to a repairable system which is described by a Markov model and presents the quantification algorithm of the steady characteristics of the repairable system. The calculation formulas of the ordinary operators and the logical gates are derived and the steady reliability parameters of the system such as average operation probability and average failure frequency can be directly computed by the GO method. The result of an example shows that the algorithm is correct. The algorithm will be useful for the safety analysis of most engineering repairable systems.
