Mathematical Methods of Resource Allocation for Optimizing Reliability.

Abstract

The literature was searched to find algorithmic techniques for resource allocation to maximize reliability or to minimize cost (in terms of volume, weight, dollars, etc.) for a minimum level of reliability. One has to conclude that only the simplest of models have been investigated. Most papers deal with the simple series-parallel circuit with a single input and a single output. It appears as though multiple goal programming may be a useful technique. The biggest need seems to be a nonenumerative method for calculating the reliability of a multicomponent system.
