Introduction
What is Failure Distribution?
A mathematical model that describes the probability of failures
occurring over time

Measuring Central Tendency of FAILURE Distribution

• Mean time to failure


• Median time to failure
• Mode time to failure

Reference: An Introduction to Reliability and Maintainability Engineering – Charles E. Ebeling


Measuring Central Tendency of FAILURE Distribution

MEAN Time to Failure (MTTF)


•

Reference: An Introduction to Reliability and Maintainability Engineering – Charles E. Ebeling


Measuring Central Tendency of FAILURE Distribution

MEDIAN Time to Failure


•

Area=1.0

Note: When the probability density function of failure


distribution is too much skewed, MEDIAN time to failure
provides misleading information (average of data fails to
describe the central tendency)

Reference: An Introduction to Reliability and Maintainability Engineering – Charles E. Ebeling


Measuring Central Tendency of FAILURE Distribution

MODE Time to Failure


•

Area=1.0

Reference: An Introduction to Reliability and Maintainability Engineering – Charles E. Ebeling


Measuring Central Tendency of FAILURE Distribution

MEAN Vs MEDIAN Vs MODE Time to Failure
