“…However, the Type 18 operator requires that the primary equipment and the standby equipment are input units. Thus, Yi et al created a new function operator, named Type 18A operator, and a new logical operator, named Type 20 operator, to overcome the limitations of Type 18, as shown in Figure B. In order to conduct effective reliability analysis of multistate systems, Type 3 operator and Type 15 operator are redefined and applied to the reliability analysis of a pyrotechnics system .…”

“…If these system dependencies are ignored, the reliability analysis will result in a large bias. Yi et al proposed a GO method for reliability analysis of repairable systems with a standby structure. Shen et al deduced the reliability parameters of a series and parallel configurations with shutdown dependency as well as the reliability parameters of a parallel configuration with maintenance and standby dependencies using Markov processes.…”

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 existing 17 basic GO operators in the GO method were not sufficient to describe the standby relationship between the primary equipment and standby equipment, so Shen et al created the Type 18 operator based on Markov process theory to address this problem . The Type 18 operator still has some limitations, so Yi et al presented a reliability analysis method for a repairable system with a standby structure based on the GO method to overcome this problem . In order to conduct an effective reliability analysis for a system with multiple states, Zhou et al redefined the Type 3 operator to describe 3 states for the main charge of the retracting actuator and improved the Type 15 operator to describe the logic relations of the multi‐state output, and Yi et al created a new function GO operator named Type 19 operator to describe the unit turning unstable operation into normal operating .…”

A new reliability analysis method for repairable systems with closed‐loop feedback link (CLFL) is proposed based on GO methodology. A method for creating new function GO operators is used to describe the CLFL. Next, methods for deducing the formulae of the new GO function are proposed. In addition, a 2‐level GO model is proposed for the GO operation of repairable systems with CLFL. And then, quantitative and qualitative analysis methods for repairable systems with CLFL based on the GO method are proposed, and a process for analyzing repairable systems with CLFL based on the new GO method is formulated. Finally, we used this new GO method to analyze the reliability of an electro‐hydraulic servo speed control system and a power‐shift steering transmission control system for a heavy vehicle. To verify the feasibility, advantages, and reasonability of the new GO method, we compared our results with those obtained by fault tree analysis, Monte Carlo Simulation, and an existing GO method using serial and parallel structures to represent the CLFL. All in all, the proposed method overcomes the limitations of the existing methods as well as increasing its applicability. And it provides a new approach for reliability analysis of repairable systems with CLFL.
