Abstract: The Petri net has been used for the establishment and analysis of many practical systems, but the reliability problem of the system is often neglected. In fact, there exist the phenomena of troubles and repairs in practical systems. This paper introduces the reliability theory into the Petri net and establishes the Petri net model of the repairable system. The analysis method of the system model is presented, and a simulation for a productive system is given for illustrating the necessity of this work.

Key words: Petri net, model, analysis, repairable system, reliability
