Integrate the results

From subcomponents to the component

The overall performance of a component is determined by aggregating the results of LAMs of the subcomponents and treating them in a way that produces an integrated probability of failure.

These results can then be combined at the levels of subsystem and system, but this is beyond the scope of this discussion.
