A direct approach to derive dependence properties among the hitting times of bivariate processes has been initiated by Ebrahimi and explored further by Ebrahimi and Ramallingam. In this paper, new results are obtained for multivariate processes, which help to identify positive and negative dependence structures among the hitting times of the processes. Applications of theorems to the present reliability of systems are given.
