HYBRID METHOD IN THE RELIABILITY ALLOCATION IN AN INDUSTRY-A REVIEW

A system`s reliability during the early stage of design is an important issue for consideration. For any engineering system to be of standard it must meet certain reliability goals. These reliability goals can be achieved by assigning reliability requirements of individuals? subsystem to obtain complete system reliability. These reliability allocation to be considered based on engineering factors appear more practical functional and crucial at the early stage of design and development of items. In this paper we shall be considering the factors of influence approach under the hybrid method. These factors of influence affecting system reliability are complexity/time, the environment, cost, state-of-the-art and criticality of failure. This method aims at exposing each factor of influence and how each affects the reliability of overall system if not properly taken into consideration at various industries.
