A Multi-State System k-out-of-n is one of basic models in Reliability Analysis. In this system, k is the minimum number of n components that must work for the system to work and both the system and its components can have more than two states. A structure function declares relation between system and component states uniquely.
New algorithm for reliability analysis of the k-out-of-n Multi-State System is proposed in this paper. We use two tools for examine this system: (a) structure function for the system description; (b) Direct Partial Logic Derivatives for analysisd this system. New algorithm for reliability analysis of the Multi-State System k-out-of-n is allowed to calculated the probability of influence i-th system component on the system breakdown or its repairing and the probability of a modification of Multi-State System reliability at a change one of the system components states.
