Methodology for Systems Reliability Analysis using Markov Models

The dependence among the components and the data associated with a repair politic, that can consist of the number of available teams and the components repair priority, rarely evaluate the measures of reliability. Thus, to evaluate the reliability and availability values with these conditions, this article develops a methodology using the theory of Markovian stochastic processes. A system of ordinary differential equations is obtained using the concepts of component failure and repair rates, constants or variable in the time. Solving it, these values are obtained, allowing the calculation of the MTTF of the analyzed system, for an allowed error.
