Weibull model
The Weibull distribution is word wide used to model Life Data.
The distribution can handle increasing, decreasing or constant
failure-rates and can be created for data with and without
suspensions (non-failures).
It is flexible and fits to a wide range of data, including Normal
distributed data.
The Weibull distribution is one of the most commonly used
distributions in Reliability
It gains in popularity for reliability work, particularly in the area of
mechanical engineering because of the many shapes it attains for
various values of reliability, due to its inherent versatility.
Weibulls formulae:
Data Requirements
Plotting Procedures
Estimate percentage
failing before each failure
time (median ranks)
Total Units
Number of observed
failures
Estimate weibull
parameters
Advantages:
The primary advantage of Weibull analysis is the ability to provide
reasonably accurate failure analysis and failure forecasts with
extremely small samples
Another advantage of Weibull analysis is that it provides a simple and
useful graphical plot of the failure data.
The data plot is extremely important to the engineer and to the
manager
System reliability
As products become more complex (have more
components), the chance that they will not function
increases.
The method of arranging the components affects
reliability of the entire system.

Series System
For a series systems, the reliability is
the product of the individual
components.

As components are added to the series,

Design
The most important aspect of reliability
is the design.
It should be as simple as possible.
The fewer the number of components,
the greater the reliability.
Another way of achieving reliability is
to have a backup or redundant
component (parallel component).
Design
Reliability can be achieved by
overdesign.
The use of large factors of safety can
increase the reliability of a product.
When an unreliable product can lead
to a fatality or substantial financial
loss, a fail-safe type of device should
be used.
The maintenance of the system is an
Production
The second most important aspect of
reliability is the production process.
Emphasis should be placed on those
components which are least reliable.
Transportation
The third most important aspect of reliability
is the transportation.
