In this note we study the steady state downtime distribution of a mono
tone system comprising independent components. An exact formula exists
for parallel system, but approximations have to be used for other typ
e of systems. Results from Monte Carlo simulations are presented to il
lustrate the error term by estimating the distribution of the ith down
time of the system by the steady state down time distribution. (C) 199
