AGREE Allocation Method
The following form is shown in the Allocation pane for an assembly when AGREE is selected for Allocation method under Prediction in the System file properties.
The following table describes the data fields in the Allocation pane for the AGREE method. Field availability depends on selections made in various fields. For more information, see AGREE Allocation Method Calculations.
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Allocation action | The way in which to allocate the reliability for the assembly. Choices are: • Specify Goal — When selected, the reliability desired for the assembly is entered. Allocation goal, reliability becomes available so that you can specify the desired reliability. • Perform Allocation — When selected, importance factors are assigned to each subassembly. For the top-most assembly, this choice is invalid. For a lower-level assembly, selecting this choice makes Allocation importance factor available so that you specify its importance factor. |
Allocation mission time | The mission time for the assembly. |
Allocation goal, reliability | The reliability goal for the assembly. Because this method is recommended for systems with a three-level hierarchical System Tree (system, subassembly, and item), the reliability goal is generally entered for the top-most assembly. For lower-level assemblies, this field is available only if Specify Goal is selected for Allocation action. |
Allocation importance factor | The importance factor for the assembly. This field is available only for lower-level assemblies when Perform Allocation is selected for Allocation action . |
