In the present paper we consider compound Poisson approximation by Stein's method for dissociated random variables. We present some applications to problems in system reliability. In particular, our examples have the structure of an incomplete U-statistics. We mainly apply techniques from Barbour and Utev, who gave new bounds for the solutions of the Stein equation in compound Poisson approximation in two recent papers.
