1. A system comprising:
- a model library configured to model a system, wherein the model library comprises a plurality of subsystem models, and each of the plurality of subsystem models is configured to derive a reliability measure;
a fault tolerance input;
a maintenance policy input; and
a dynamic risk calculation engine (DRCE) configured to use a user-defined set of the plurality of subsystem models, the fault tolerance input, and the maintenance policy input, to derive a system risk for an apparatus.

Abstract
A system may include a model library configured to model a system, wherein the model library comprises a plurality of subsystem models, and each of the plurality of subsystem models is configured to derive a reliability measure. The system further includes a fault tolerance input and a maintenance policy input. The system further includes a dynamic risk calculation engine (DRCE) configured to use a user-defined set of the plurality of subsystem models, the fault tolerance input and the maintenance policy input, to derive a system risk for an apparatus.

13. A method comprising:
-
using a model library to build a risk model; deriving a reliability measure based on the risk model and on an input; and deriving an action based on the reliability measure, wherein the risk model comprises at least one failure state, one okay state, at least one derated state, at least one repair rate transition, and at least one failure rate transition. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A system comprising:
-
a controller configured to control a machine system and to receive inputs from the machine system, wherein the controller comprises non-transitory machine readable instructions configured to; use a model library to build a risk model; derive a reliability measure based on the risk model and an input; and derive an action based on the reliability measure, wherein the risk model comprises at least one failure state, one okay state, at least one derated state, at least one repair rate transition, and at least one failure rate transition. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
