Abstract: In this paper, we present a Markov reward model for a linear consecutive 2-out-of-4:F system with multi-states assuming different performance ranges from working state to failure state. Reliability measures for the suggested system such as average availability, the mean number of system failures, mean time to failure, and system reliability are obtained.

Key words: multi-state system, consecutive 2-out-of-4:F system, Markov reward model, mean time to failure, system reliability
