The evaluation of system reliability becomes very diffilcult when the number of components in a system is large or the system configuration is complex. This note presents a straightforward method for system reliability evaluation. Probability is treated as a point in a Cartesian frame and formulas are derived to evaluate the reliability of series, parallel, series-parallel, and bridge networks. The values obtained by the classical method agree closely with those obtained by this parametric method.
