Weibull analysis can be used to examine a myriad of failures and problems, including equipment breakdowns. By better understanding why and when breakdowns happen, companies can better tailor their ...

When products start failing, management wants answers. Are they failing because of manufacturing problems? Or is the design to blame? One of the most widely regarded methods for ferreting out the ...

This example compares the use of three-parameter and two-parameter Weibull Q-Q plots for the failure times in months for 48 integrated circuits. The times are assumed to follow a Weibull distribution.

An industry expert discusses use of the Weibull distribution for life testing electromechanical relays. Life tests for electro-mechanical relays can be set up using relatively small sample sizes, ...

Different measures of goodness-of-fit provide information to describe how well models fit the data. However, it’s important to note that these measures have shown modest growth in comparison to the ...
