A method to prevent excessive numbers of Markov states in Markov models for quantitative safety and reliability assessment.

This paper presents a method that will drastically reduce the calculation effort required to obtain quantitative safety and reliability assessments to determine safety integrity levels for applications in the process industry. The method described combines all benefits of Markov modeling with the practical benefits of reliability block diagrams.
