Weight Factor Assignments
The method for assigning a weight factor depends on the allocation method. The table below describes how the ARINC, equal apportionment by components, and equal apportionment by subsystems methods assign weight factors.
Method
Description
ARINC
A weight factor is assigned to each subassembly and/or part based on prediction calculation results. For more information, see ARINC Allocation Method Calculations.
Equal Apportionment by Components
A weight factor is assigned to each part based on the following equation:
100 / Number of Parts in the Entire System
Equal Apportionment by Subsystems
A weight factor is assigned to each part based on the following equation:
100 / Number of Parts in the Subassembly
