This example appears in the Reliability growth reference.


The following table presents data for a fleet of 27 systems. A cycle is a complete history from overhaul to overhaul. The failure history for the last completed cycle for each system is recorded. This is a random sample of data from the fleet. These systems are in the order in which they were selected. Suppose the intervals to group the current data are 10,000; 20,000; 30,000; 40,000 and the final interval is defined by the termination time. Conduct the fleet analysis.

Solution

The sample fleet data set can be grouped into 10,000; 20,000; 30,000; 40,000 and 52,110 time intervals. The following table gives the grouped data.

Grouped Data
Time Observed Failures
10,000 8
20,000 16
30,000 22
40,000 27
52,110 37

Based on the above time intervals, the maximum likelihood estimates of [math]\displaystyle{ \widehat{\lambda }\,\! }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \widehat{\beta }\,\! }[/math] for this data set are then given by:

[math]\displaystyle{ \begin{matrix} \widehat{\lambda }=0.00147 \\ \widehat{\beta }=0.93328 \\ \end{matrix}\,\! }[/math]

The next figure shows the System Operation plot.
