Abstract
A general method is presented for evaluating the reliability of complex systems, subsystems of which may have many failure modes. The method is easily com-puterizable, computationally efficient and has low memory requirements. Compared to the existing methods for a single failure mode case, this method has the additional advantages of avoiding repeated generation of compared numbers and requiring no selection of prime implieants or their subsets. Examples of the method have been included.Keywords
