Allocating Reliability and
Maintainability Downward
Systems have top-level requirements
for reliability, availability and maintainability. The reliability
engineer, working with the systems engineer, must, in turn, allocate
requirements to the sub-systems and components that comprise the
system. Multiple possible allocations usually exist. Cost
minimization or other objectives are used to select among
alternative allocations. This tutorial frames the problem, presents
simple but useful rule-of-thumb cost models and demonstrates how to
solve simple examples using the BlockSim software and a spreadsheet.
