“…Feedback is forbidden in a basic GO model, so that feedback is neglected as a serial and parallel structure without considering the characteristic of the internal feedback. Yi et al created a new function operator, which is used to describe multiple‐input closed‐loop feedback link, to solve the problem of establishing a GO model with Closed‐Loop, as shown in Figure I. In addition, Gu et al improved a logical operator to describe the logical relationship between the output signal of rotor and detonator in a fuze system.…”

Goal‐oriented (GO) methodology is a graphic inductive method mapping the system structure, its function constitute, characteristics, and working principle visually based on decision tree. Recently, the studies on reliability technologies for GO method of complex systems have been gotten a lot of attention by scholars because of the obvious advantages of modeling and analysis power. Indeed, the GO method has been applied in reliability and safety analysis of various areas, such as transportation and power systems, to prove its value. Thus, this paper provides a brief review of the GO method from aspects of providing its development history and its engineering applications and expounding its development of the theory of the GO method. At last, the future directions of GO method are discussed.

“…Recently, the GO method has also been applied in the reliability analysis of defense systems, water, oil, and gas supply systems, manufacturing systems, transportation systems, power systems, and logistics management systems [2,3]. Furthermore, the theory of GO method for a complex system with complex correlations (dependencies), closed-loop feedback, multiple functions, multiple fault modes, etc., has been developed from three aspects, which are GO model, basic GO algorithm, and GO method for complex systems with various characteristics [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Literature [2,3] gave the overview of development of GO method in detail.…”

Goal-oriented (GO) methodology is a success-oriented method for complex system reliability analysis based on modeling the normal operating sequence of a system and all possible system states. Recently, GO method has been applied in reliability and safety analysis of a number of systems, spanning defense, transportation, and power systems. This chapter provides a new approach for reliability analysis of complex systems, first, by providing its development history, its engineering applications, and the future directions. Then, the basic theory of GO method is expounded. Finally, the comparison of GO method, fault tree analysis and Monte-Carlo simulation is discussed.Keywords: system reliability analysis, complex system, GO method, reliability model IntroductionQuality and reliability are key attributes of economic success of a system because they result in an increase in productivity at low cost and vital for business growth and enhanced competitive position. The recent advances in electronics, computing, communication, control, and networking have resulted in integrated systems that are: (i) complex in structure, (ii) large in scope and scale, (iii) characterized by multimode operation, (iii) capable of working in varied working conditions, and (iv) hierarchically organized. The reliability of such complex systems is a critical factor of their fitness for their intended use and hence is vital for in design and manufacturing. Reliability analysis method of complex systems is conducive to prevent defects in the first place in all aspects when they do occur in operation, in order to improve their reliability and reduce their life-cycle cost.Fault tree analysis (FTA) and Monte-Carlo simulation (MCS) are now the standard reliability and safety analysis methods.

It is especially suitable for complex systems having time-sequence of operation, multiple states, and so on, and the quantitative analysis and the qualitative analysis of the GO method are conducted by the GO operation according to the GO model. The keys of the GO method are the GO model and the GO operation. Although the GO method was introduced in 1976 [1], it was largely unknown until recently. The GO method has become increasingly popular in recent years because of its advantages in terms of its ease of creating a model and of its representational and analysis power [2,3]. This chapter is an attempt at providing a basic theory of GO method in terms of GO model, GO operation, and comparison with FTA and MCS. Development of GO methodThe major application o...

“…The more accurate reliability analysis results and all fault‐mode‐level minimum cut sets of the system can be quickly obtained based on this GO method . For repairable systems with closed‐loop feedback link, a new function GO operator was created based on the Markov process theory to solve quantitative analysis problems for repairable systems with dual input closed‐loop feedback link . With a nuclear power system as a case, a reliability analysis process based on the GO method was proposed for complex phased‐mission systems …”

This paper proposes a new systematic reliability analysis method for repairable systems with multifunction modes based on the goal‐oriented (GO) method. First, we create a new function GO operator, a new logical GO operator, and a new auxiliary GO operator, deduce their GO operation formulas, and propose some new rules of the GO operation and an exact algorithm with shared signal of the GO method for such systems. Then, we formulate the analysis process of repairable systems with multifunction modes based on the new GO method. Finally, we apply this new GO methodology to reliability analysis of the control system for a heavy vehicle. To verify the feasibility, advantage, and reasonableness of the new GO methodology, we compare its analysis results with those of fault tree analysis and Monte Carlo simulation. We show that the proposed GO method has clear advantages in system reliability modeling and analysis. All in all, this study not only improves the theory of the GO method and widens its application but also provides a new approach for conducting reliability analysis of complex systems quickly and efficiently.
