1.0 Introduction
The functional analysis is an engineering process that basically has the primary goal of
transforming the functional, performance and various requirements which were pointed out
by requirement analysis. The breaking down process involves the arrangement of various
functions in a sequence which is logical starting from a high-level function to a lower-level
function. Some of the tools which are commonly used to show the functional analysis and
allocation include; timeline analysis and functional flow diagrams. The Functional Analysis
and Allocation as pointed out earlier ties to create a link between the high-level systems
requirements and the more detailed requirements with the main aim of implementing a
certain program or buying systems. During the process of Functional Analysis and
Allocation, there is the development of the Functional Architecture which mainly aids when
developing the real design by enabling the individuals concerned such as the engineers to
clearly create a link between the system function and the system requirement (Viola, et al.,
2012).
The core purpose of this paper is to examine the fundamentals of Functional Analysis and
Allocation and investigate in detail the approaches used in this technique. The
organization of this report paper is as follows; the first section will include the overview
of Functional Analysis and Allocation process followed by the approaches and methods
for functional analysis and functional allocation.
2.0 Overview of the Functional Analysis and Allocation Process
In the Functional Analysis and Allocation process, all the functions that are involved in the
system design and development are pointed out as well as the inputs, the outputs and the
