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.

System reliability is usually predicted with the assumption that all component states are independent. This assumption may not accurate for systems with outsourced components since their states are strongly dependent and component details may be unknown. The purpose of this study is to develop an accurate system reliability method that can produce complete joint probability density function (PDF) of all the component states, thereby leading to accurate system reliability predictions. The proposed method works for systems whose failures are caused by excessive loading. In addition to the component reliability, system designers also ask for partial safety factors for shared loadings from component suppliers. The information is then sufficient for building a system-level joint PDF. Algorithms are designed for a component supplier to generate partial safety factors. The method enables accurate system reliability predictions without requiring proprietary information from component suppliers.

Taking into account the uncertainty in material property and component quality, a complex mechanical component such as a gear should be treated as a series system instead of a component when evaluating its reliability, since there exist many sites of equal likelihood to fail. Besides, conventional system reliability model is not applicable to such a system because of the statistical dependence among the failures of the every element (damage site). The present paper presents a model to estimate complex mechanical component reliability by incorporating order statistic of element strength into load-strength interference analysis, which can deal with multiple failure mechanisms, reflect statistical dependence among element failure events and that among different failure modes.
