Issue Date: | Dec-2003 | Citation: | Tang, L.-C. (2003-12). Failure-free life in reliability modeling. International Journal of Industrial Engineering : Theory Applications and Practice 10 (4) : 332-338. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | The use of failure-free life in reliability analysis and modeling has often been overlooked. This is partly due to the lack of evidence from real life examples in which failure-free life could be a dominating factor in decision making. We give two motivations for using failure-free life in reliability modeling. Then, we present a real life case to illustrate the importance of including failure-free life in reliability analysis and product/process design and development. Methods for detecting and estimating failure-free life, beyond the current graphical method, are also presented. In particular, we provide two simple Excel™ spreadsheet templates for performing estimation. Numerical experience shows that the algorithms work well in practice. | Source Title: | International Journal of Industrial Engineering : Theory Applications and Practice | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/63132 | ISSN: | 10724761 |
