Introduction:

• Reliability Allocation is a method of apportioning a system target reliability amongst sub-systems and components. It is a useful tool at design stage for determining the required reliability of equipment to achieve a given system reliability target.

Allocation Methods:

The Allocation module within Reliability Workbench supplies the user with six methods for assigning subsystem reliability values:

• Non-restricted equal allocation
• Non-restricted graded allocation
• Non-restricted proportional allocation
• Non-restricted redundancy proportional allocation
• Non-restricted reliability re-allocation
• Restricted direct research allocation

Benefits:

• Better allocation reliability values between the subsystems based on complexity, criticality, achievable reliability, or other factors that are deemed appropriate.
• Able to set reliability goals for individual subsystems till goal is met. 
• Flexible import and export facilities
• Useful and customizable report designer for the generation of required templates of reports.
