This paper discusses problems of identifying and estimating the reliability of complex real production systems in the constructing industry. The influence of the system structure on its reliability has been considered. Types of elements and their connections in the system from the point of view of system reliability have been identified. The simulation method presented here allows to investigate the reliability of real systems, including the occurrence of inertia, variability of their structure and mutual dependence of reliability parameters of their elements. Two synthesis algorithms, (considering phase inertial in the estimation of system reliability), have been proposed and compared. On the basis of a machine system (loader-conveyor belt-material receiver), the utilisation of inertia to improve reliability characteristics of the system has been proved to be more effective than adding reserve elements to the system.
