This paper presents the Monte Carlo simulation technique applied to the reliability evaluation of systems related to the variable operation conditions. A semi-Markov processes is applied to construct the system operation model and its main characteristics are determined. The method of linking this model with the systems reliability is proposed to get a general reliability model of the complex system operating at the variable conditions. An application of the proposed Monte Carlo simulation based on this method is illustrated in the reliability evaluation of a port grain transportation system. This way obtained results are compared with the results achieved by analytical way.
