Abstract
This paper describes a model of the subjective reliability analysis, which uses a fuzzy set, natural language expressions and parameterized operations of fuzzy sets. The model has a problem of many different analysis results being obtained dependent on analysts since the subjective reliability analysis reflects analysts subjectivity. As one of the solutions of the problem two kinds of mutual agreements are considered. One is the intersection and the union of the fuzzy sets obtained by the analysis. The other is the weighted average of the fuzzy sets. This paper also gives these interpretations from the viewpoint of a system reliability analysis. Finally examples of these considerations are shown.
