Popis: In Multiple Failure Mode systems (MFM systems) each component may either work or experience one of m ≥ 2 different failure modes. This work presents a lower product-type bound for the MFM system’s reliability function, using the theory of stochastic ordering. Numerical calculations are also carried out to compare the new bound to other bounds that appeared in the reliability literature recently.
