Abstract
The GO-FLOW methodology is capable of assessing system reliability. It models the system into a GO-FLOW chart with signal lines and operators and assesses the reliability of system by assessing the GO-FLOW chart sequential. But, as it models one component of system into several operators, the GO-FLOW chart which is different from the system flow diagram be modeled. Also, as it models the real operation time into "time point", it is hard to assess the reliability change according to the real operation time. Therefore, in this paper, the new GO-FLOW methodology which use the function(success/failure) of system components has been developed. It can assess the successful operating probability of system, regardless of the operating status of components. As it models one component of system into one operator, the GO-FLOW chart which is similar the system flow diagram can be modeled. Also, it is able to easily assess the successful probability of system according to the real operation time using the time in the operators.
