In this paper, an exact formulation for computing reliability of weighted k-out-of-n:G systems using system signature is presented. Some component importance measures are computed. Moreover, reliability and some important reliability indices of repairable weighted k-out-of-n:G system are derived via system signature. A real life case of weighted k-out-of-n:G is analyzed using the proposed formulations to show the practicability of the given model.
