After a Resource exists for a System Reliability Analysis, you can assign the resource to a Risk. When you do so, you associate the cost of that Resource with each failure that occurs as a result of that Risk. This allows you to assign a realistic, financial cost to the consequences of the Risk that can be included in the simulation results.
When you assign a Resource to a Risk, a System Resource Usage record will be created and will store information that specifies how the Resource will be used (e.g., the quantity and duration). There are two ways to assign Resources to Risks:
In the grid, locate the row containing the Risk to which you want to assign a Resource.
If you want to assign planned Resource, select the Planned Resource Usages link.
-or-
If you want to assign unplanned Resource, select the Unplanned Resource Usages link.
The <Risk> - <Resource Usage> grid appears, displaying the list of resources that are assigned to the selected Risk. <Risk> is the name of the Risk that you selected and <Resource Usages> is the type of Resource Usage that you selected.
The following image shows the grid when you select Unplanned Resource Usage:
In the upper-left corner of the grid, select .
The New Resource Usage from Existing Resources window appears.
As needed, enter the value in the available fields, and then select Finish.
