Complete lattices are considered in order to model the space of performance levels for both system and components, leading to a general concept of structure function. Measurability with respect to the associate order topology is also assumed. On one hand, some basic concepts in classical reliability theory are translated into this context, where a particular measure has been defined over the space of components. On the other hand, the idea of duality is analysed in this context.engjournal articlehttps//doi.org/10.1108/eb005961http://www.emeraldinsight.com/journals.htm?articleid=1663940open access519.22519.8Coherent systemsReliabilityObservable structure functionEquivalence class of indistinguishable general structure functionsDual observable structure functionsEstadística matemática (Matemáticas)Investigación operativa (Matemáticas)1209 Estadística1207 Investigación Operativa
