Abstract: The GO methodology is an effective method of system reliability analysis and it can be used in the repairable system as well. The calculation formulas of the ordinary operators for the repairable components and the quantification algorithm of the steady characteristics of the repairable system have been presented in Ref. [6]. This paper provides a calculation formula of the failure rate for the repairable system with the independent components, and the calculation procedure of the equivalent failure rate and the average operation probability for the repairable system with the shared signals at complex case are presented. This supplemental algorithm is quite universal for the complex repairable system and quite convenient for calculation by computer. An example demonstrates the calculation process and the result shows that the algorithm is correct and available.
