Thanks for the nice explanation. It's a bit counter intuitive to say that the average time to failure is 2996 hours even though all the tests lasts to 1000 hour only. so maybe the rest of 14 unit will fail at an hour later after the 1000 hr if we continue testing! A more precise failure rate will be using the units until failure then averaging that time out. good learning everybody !
@@CQEAcademy hello Sir. İ need some deep knowledge from the subject "Reliability and safety theory". İ failed at this subject and i need to pass. İ need some private lessons. Could you please help me?
@@warrior_number Hey Orxan, unfortunately i don't do any personal coaching, and I don't have a course (yet) for the CRE Exam (Certified Reliability Engineer).
thank you! i have been thinking about combining performance measurement (ie: Prometheus counters, health checks) to measure throughput at load, utilization; and somehow combining with measuring the reliability of graphs of services.)
Clear explanation and to the point. Thanks very much. Could you make some more practical examples of FR, MTBF, MTTF and how Planned Maintenance comes in?
I have one thing to add for the MTTF, I believe it should be divided by the total number of units and not the total number of failures. The reason is the units that did not fail should also be included in the mean calculation. The hours of those units were already included when the summation of operational hours was added so it should be counted.
I am seeing the same thing in other MTTF calculations. Do you know if you did calculate MTTF this way, would you still be able to proceed with the reliability models in the same way as he explained?
A great professionally presentation of the concepts as such not easy to digest. Any recommendation for the Certified Reliability Engineer exam? This is the toughest one of ASQs as said but I desparately love to get it done
Hello Andy, Thanks for the video. I wanna know one thing if we take multiple samples and run them for specific hours what will be the operation cycle in that case in the MTTF formula or failure rate formula. will it be the (duration for which we run those samples) or (samples multiplied by duration for which we run the samples)
Great video-can you go through part b of the question below... A non-repairable item exhibits a constant failure rate of 8% per 100 operating hours. A)If the initial stock is 150 units, and all items are operating simultaneously, how many items would be expected to be still operating after 200 hours? B)If the design of the unit is improved so that the failure rate falls by 25%, i.e. to 6% per 100 operating hours, what would be the proportional increase in the number still working after 2000 hours
Hi Andy, great video. I actually got to finaly understand the weibul distribution! Question, say in operating setup (not manufacturing or product testing), failure data for repairable equipment are highly influenced by the maintenance strategy for that specific equipment. Can we use that data to calculate MTBF? Is there MTBF with maintenance and MTBF without maintenance?
Great question! So one of the underlying assumptions here is that when a unit is repaired, the item is repaired to "its original condition" (or near it's original condition). If different maintenance techniques are used, and the unit is not repaired to its original condition, it's hard to define a reliable estimate of MTBF. Does that make sense?
Great video, I would like to know 1) how to calculate Beta, 2) I have 50 comp installed, 10 failure removals with mean hours of 700, how can I predict the failure hour of rest components or how can I find where to apply a maintenance so as to preclude the failure? Your reply would be highly helpful. thanks in advance.
Hey Gamaliyel!!! Okay, so the beta parameter for your product should be developed through testing. In terms of maintenance that you can do to extend the MTTF, that really depends on your product, and the root causes of the failures that are occurring.
Beta, or Weibull Shape, is calculated using the slope equation. Through MTTF/MTBF testing, you would graph the results on a probability plot and calculate rise over run as normal.
Hi, mate, great video to see I want to ask a few things: 1. how to calculate MTBF on redundance system? 2. How to define operating hours on a modular system? (eg certain parts are always operating, such as the power supply. But other parts are only active when used) 3. how to calculate MTBF at point 3?
Hey There! Okay, so when you have a redundant system, generally we quantify the reliability of each component in that system, then use parallel system calculations (ruclips.net/video/MayRywOTkDg/видео.html) - or whichever configuration your system is setup as. Great question about operating hours on a modular system, that's somewhat unique to your design so you'll have to come up with a formula/process to calculate operating hours in that scenario. For #3 - you're asking about calculating MTBF in the wear-out period?
Thank you for these videos, your brilliance is in the way you simplify concepts. Just a question, when calculating the MTBF for repairable machines during the data measurement process in calculating MTBF are only newly 1st time manufactured parts taken into calculation or are repaired parts (2nd repair, 3nd repair, 4th repair, etc is there an upper limit to number of repairs?) also taken in the MTBF calculation ?
Great question Harsh! Sooo, that depends on what you assume. If you assume that repaired parts have the same reliability as new parts, then I would include it. Obviously if you think that repaired parts have worse reliability, just know that it'll impact your MTBF. The last comment I'd make is, if your product will routinely be repaired with repaired parts, then i would calculated MTBF for this scenario because this estimate of reliability will reflect your products actual performance. Hopefully that makes sense.
@@CQEAcademy Thank you for your response. This makes great sense. Would you have any suggestions on best industry practices of choosing an optimum product sample size to calculate MTBF and the optimum ratio of repaired product vs new products to use in MTBF & how the selection is done? E.g lets say for low volume manufacturing, 60 products manufactured / year ? Also, on another related topic regarding warranty calculation - does the business strategy team include MTBF when calculating the warranty period of products and are there any situations where the warranty can be also renewed after product has been repaired to new since its MTBF would also be restored? Philosophically, what is considered morally right when providing warranty to customers ?
Andy, Have you authored any book or recommend one or two that I can buy to prepare for the CQE? I also want to take your course, How long does it take? How much does it cost?
Hello, I am looking for Probability in Quality Control, sadly I can't find this topic on CQE Academy, does anyone know some resources to study that with?
Awesome explanation, if i have peak stress and time of peak stress of 10 samples, log normal plotting weibull destribution of its time or stress which will be more helpful ? Which i did using excell and plotting weibull destribution, giving me the modulus intercept and slope , from which i cacluate the beta and eeta. Your insights means a lot to me
MTTF formula that i see elsewhere is different . denominator for MTTF you mentioned as No. of failures. online i see Total number of devices. can you please clarify?
Question on MTTF/MTBF example : how can one deduce that the MTTF is nearly 3000 hours when none of the device ran more than 1000 hours and 6 of them failed well before 1000 hours? If none had failed, the MTTF using this calculation would be infinite.
Walid!!!! that's such an amazing question, and I didn't go into this level of detail in the video, but if this were to happen in real life, what I would recommend would be to continue the testing to failure to confirm the MTTF value, because as you point out it's not a best practice to make predictions for MTTF outside of your testing parameters.
hello , first thank you for this amazing video , second, i 'm actually getting more interested in this area of statistics , could you please suggest me some books to read to get more information on this
Hey There! The beta value usually comes from your failure data - historically, when failure data was plotted on a weibull probability plot, the slope of the line from that data would be the beta value for your product
What is the minimum number of product we have to put to trial for determining the MTTF or MTBF? In the above example you have taken 20 units on which basis?
Hey Sheikh! There isn't really a set standard for the number of units required for reliability testing. MTTF/MTBF is obviously a sample estimate, and your confidence in that sample estimate grows with more samples, and the number of samples requires can vary from industry/industry and from application to application based on the risk associated with a failure.
These are greatnd thank you...my question is - how do you calculate Beta and separately, are there known methods of calculating MTTF without test data? I ask for the instance of a large system where it's not production but a one off built system
Please, how can I confirm the shape type and B value, how can I say this item should be go through increasing failure or decreasing, or may be exponential?
When I say that this device has an MTBF equals 500 yrs, how can I illustrate this to the customer? And you select 20 device in the video, may the reliability value will change if you actually use 50 or 100
Great question, and yes, the confidence that you have in your reliability estimate goes up, when you take more samples. In terms of the MTBF of a device, 500 years is a big number, and your customer will obviously want to see the test data that generated this estimate.
@@CQEAcademy tell me if the following is right; 500 yrs means reliability is 0.998 and if I produce 10000 device; that means there is a chance to failure of 20 out of the 10000 could fail
Hey @@MS-be9wv so normally we talk about reliability in terms of the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) or the failure rate (lambda), both of which are typically measured in hours (MTBF) or failures per hour (lambda - failure rate). I think it would be challenging to prove a MTBF of 500 years. How are you getting that number?
Hey Shailesh!! In that formula, "e" is Eulers number. It's a mathematical constant and it's equal to 2.71828. Think about it like Pi (3.1415926535. . . ) Most calculators have Eulers Number as an available constant to select from. Work that fraction first (-1200/2996 = -0.40053), and then raise "e" to that power (-0.40053) and you should get 0.6699
@@CQEAcademy Thank you for your reply and explanation, I would further like to know why we considered 'e' only? Sorry it might be embarrassing question.
Hey Michele, thanks so much! Okay, so your MTBF value should be calculated from reliability testing. Then, based that reliability data you can make reliability predictions.
Choosing testing time factor is Reliability testing planning of a product. Reliability testing can be perform in many ways . 1.Time truncated Testing ( Testing till predefined testing time) Both have different ways to calculate the MTBF including censoring data types . 2.Failure Truncated testing ( Testing the product till failure but testing time can increase for more reliable product and less for less reliable product) . To save time and resources we can use the testing strategies according to the product reliability defined by customer requirements and Reliability is part of the design life cycle to save the cost .
I have a question about the question on 15:00 If the probability that it will succeed is 66%, then does that mean the probability that it will fail is 44%? I have a question just like this in my past exam paper and I'm trying to understand it.
@@andyrobertson566 Hi, thank you, sorry for late reply, also, last question, are there any feasible ways of increasing the reliability of the system? Like, what can be done?
@@mmaScholar99 Hey Leon!!! Great question, and there's really no single answer to that question. The honest truth is, the reliability of your product often depends on the design. The suppliers you choose, the components you choose, the design you choose, and the failure modes associated with that design, all have an impact on the final reliability of your product. If your product is already in production and you cannot easily change the design, then what you can focus on is the process. Improving the process to eliminate failure modes that might reduce the reliability of your product. That sort of thing. Does that make sense?
Hi - In the example with 6 failure, how would we calculate the MTBF for same example assuming all the units ran up to 1000 with 6 failures and 6 repairs?
Hey Jankesh, I believe the proper procedure is to capture all of the run time of the units, including before the failure and after the repair, and factor all of that time into the calculation for the MTBF. Don't include any time spent in repair
Hi thanks for the wonderful explanation, appreciate it! why is that the exponential dist is applied only for the "useful-Life Period", what is the reason behind it? is it cuz exponential dist doesn't have a shape parameter and Weibull does and therefore Weibull can adapt any part of the bathtub curve for a dataset? Thanks Arav
Hey Arav! Great question! So to be fair, the weibull distribution can also be used for the "useful life period", because the weibull distribution can also have a shape parameter (Beta) equal to 1. The reason that the exponential distribution models the useful life period though, is because the useful life period can be characterized as a time period with a constant failure rate (flat line on the bathtub curve). And a constant failure rate (lambda) is modeled by the exponential distribution. I know that can be hard to visualize though and it would take another video to explain this more clearly. I'll add that to future videos!
Hey Hany, you can only determine your beta value through reliability testing. The beta value used to be derived from a weibull probability plot analyzing reliability data. Now you calculate beta using programs like minitab but it first requires that you perform reliability testing and collect data

Hi - In the example with 6 failure, how would we calculate the MTBF for same example assuming all the units ran up to 1000 with 6 failures and 6 repairs?
Hey Jankesh, I believe the proper procedure is to capture all of the run time of the units, including before the failure and after the repair, and factor all of that time into the calculation for the MTBF. Don't include any time spent in repair
good presentation can I get the pdf file plz
Yeah! Just head over to CQEAcademy.com/freecheatsheet
Hi thanks for the wonderful explanation, appreciate it!
why is that the exponential dist is applied only for the "useful-Life Period", what is the reason behind it? is it cuz exponential dist doesn't have a shape parameter and Weibull does and therefore Weibull can adapt any part of the bathtub curve for a dataset?
Thanks
Arav
Hey Arav!
Great question! So to be fair, the weibull distribution can also be used for the "useful life period", because the weibull distribution can also have a shape parameter (Beta) equal to 1.
The reason that the exponential distribution models the useful life period though, is because the useful life period can be characterized as a time period with a constant failure rate (flat line on the bathtub curve).
And a constant failure rate (lambda) is modeled by the exponential distribution. I know that can be hard to visualize though and it would take another video to explain this more clearly. I'll add that to future videos!

Hi
I think it makes sense now!
Thank you👍👍👍

How could I determine beta value
Hey Hany, you can only determine your beta value through reliability testing. The beta value used to be derived from a weibull probability plot analyzing reliability data. Now you calculate beta using programs like minitab but it first requires that you perform reliability testing and collect data
