Summary Introduction

To determine: The percentage of scanners that are expected to fail.

Introduction:

Mean time between failures (MTBF):

The mean time between failures is a term which denotes the time that is elapsed between the first failure of a product and the second failure of a product. It is calculated during the normal system operation.

1. Three hundred identical cathode ray tubes (CRTS) placed into service simultaneously on January 1, 1976, experienced the following numbers of failures through December 31, 1988: 1983 Year Number of failures 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 13 19 16 34 21 38 Assume that there were no failures before 1983. a. Based on these data, estimate the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of a CRT chosen at random. Using the results of part (a), estimate the probability that a CRT chosen at random 13.1 Reliability of a Single Component 753 b. Lasts more than 5 years. c. Lasts more than 10 years. d.

day, a FedEx competitor processes approximately 70,000 shipments. Suppose that they use the same Service Quality Index as FedEx and identified the following numbers of errors during a five-day week (see the “FedEx: Measuring Service Performance” box): These values are hypothetical and do not reflect any real company’s actual performance. Complaints reopened: 125 Damaged packages: 18 International: 102 Invoice adjustments: 282 Late pickup stops: 209 Lost packages: 2 Missed proof of delivery: 26 Right date late: 751 Traces: 115 Wrong day late: 15 Compute the Service Quality Indicator by finding the weighted sum of errors as a percentage of total shipments.
