Reliability allocation is a very important problem during early design and development phases of a system. There are several reliability allocation techniques which are used to achieve the target reliability. The feasibility of objectives (FOO) technique is one of them that is widely used to perform system reliability allocation. But this technique has two fundamental shortcomings. The first is the measurement scale and the second is that it does not consider the order weight of the reliability allocation factors. The prioritization of the factors is also an important topic in decision making. Practically, all factors in multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) are not in the same priority level. Hence, in decision making situation, it is usual for decision makers to consider different priority factors. So, considering the prioritization of the factors, a reliability allocation method is proposed here to overcome the shortcomings of the FOO technique. Also, a case study on reliability allocation in airborne radar system is considered here to verify the efficiency of the proposed approach. Finally, the results are calculated in different optimistic and pessimistic view point and compared with the FOO technique. This comparison exhibits the advantages and supremacy of the proposed approach.

Optimal allocation of reliability to components of a system is one of the several ways of ensuring high system reliability in design. The problem which is typically formulated as single criterion optimisation encounters difficulty when the analytic system reliability expression is intractable usually as a result of complex system configuration. The current work re-examines a novel approach previously developed by the authors which takes a multicriteria view of the problem on the basis of the minimum cut sets of a system, and thus avoids finding the top level system reliability before optimisation. The model and methodology was applied to two complex system reliability allocation problems: a classical one and one associated with electricity transmission. The results were consistent with previously obtained ones by the authors and with the reliability importance of some notable components.
