The phenomena of failure is attached with a system or component from its production and as true as its birth. In complex systems, common cause failure is the phenomena of failure due to poor design of the component. Survival signature is contributing in the enhancement of the reliability of systems with complex configuration because it is capable to handle the uncertainties exist in the parameters measuring different types of reliabilities of the components. Survival signature flows in the systems and it becomes the generalization of system signature. System signature deals only with single kind of components used in the system. The Survival signature is preferable because it covers the shorting comings of system signature in the limitation of single type of components. It provides more opportunities to calculate the reliability of various complex systems than system signature. In the present research article, we have used the "Monte Carlo simulation technique" in survival signature to analyze the fuzzy reliability of systems having complexity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
