Abstract: Abstract Quantitative information about the role that the components of a system play with respect to its risk, safety, reliability and availability is of great practical aid to system designers and operators. Indeed, the identification of which components mostly contribute to the system failure behavior allows one to trace system design bottlenecks and provides guidelines for effective operation and maintenance actions for system performance improvement.
