    4. Methodology

    This section presents the methodological approach for implementing reliability calculation optimization on a system. The objective is to move from a theoretical reliability model, often based on generic and linear assumptions, to an optimized functional model that takes into account the actual specificities of the functions, their criticality, and their use.

    4.1 Identification and categorization of functions

    The first step in the methodology is to identify and structure the internal functions of the system based on its detailed electrical diagrams. The goal is to obtain a clear and comprehensive view of the actual functional organization of the equipment at the circuit level, going well beyond a simple list of components. It is not just a matter of listing the...
