Reliability Enginnering: Presented by

This document discusses reliability engineering and key reliability concepts. It defines reliability as the probability of a component or system performing adequately for a specified period of time under stated conditions. It describes how system reliability depends on the reliability of its lowest-level components. Key reliability parameters discussed include mean time between failures (MTBF), mean time to failure (MTTF), and mean time to repair (MTTR). The benefits of reliability engineering are reduced failures, warranty costs, and improved customer relations.

Definition of Reliability

The Probability of an item ( component/system)


to perform adequately for a specified period of
time. under stated conditions
Reliability Engineering
• Reliability of a higher level of system
– Relationship between different equipment
– Reliability of modules which make the
equipment
– Reliability of system is depend upon reliability
of lowest level
Series Model :Automobile with four Wheels

System reliability ,Rs= ∏Ρ


i=1
i
Parallel model: Two Boilers But needed
One for operation

Rs = 1 − ∏ (1 − Ρi )
i =1
Functionally parallel
• The equipment can be in series , but if
they act as back up for one another they
considered as in parallel
Illustration

Reaction
pump vessel
Valve 1 valve 2
Let see one example

0.95

0.70
Cont….
• 1-(1-0.95)*(1-0.70)
• 1-0.015=0.985
• The reliability of the parallel system is
greater then the reliability of any of its
component
Reliability Parameters
• Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
• MTBF is a basic measure of reliability for repairable
items. It can be described as the number of hours that
pass before a component, assembly, or system fails. It is
a commonly-used variable in reliability and
maintainability analysis.
• MTBF can be calculated as the inverse of the failure rate
for constant failure rate systems. For example: If a
component has a failure rate of 2 failures per million
hours, the MTBF would be the inverse of that failure rate.
• MTBF = (1,000,000 hours) / (2 failures) = 500,000 hours
Cont…
• Mean Time To Failure (MTTF)
• MTTF is a basic measure of reliability for non-repairable
systems. It is the mean time expected until the first
failure of a piece of equipment. MTTF is a statistical
value and is meant to be the mean over a long period of
time and large number of units. For constant failure rate
systems, MTTF is the inverse of the failure rate. If failure
rate is in failures/million hours, MTTF = 1,000,000 /
Failure Rate for components with exponential
distributions.
• Technically MTBF should be used only in reference to
repairable items, while MTTF should be used for non-
repairable items. However, MTBF is commonly used for
both repairable and non-repairable items.
Cont…
• FITS (fail in time)
– FITS is a more intuitive way of representing MTBF.
FITS is nothing but the total number of failures of the
module in a billion hours (i.e. 1000,000,000 hours).
• MTTR
– Mean Time To Repair (MTTR), is the time taken to
repair a failed module. It should be a goal of system
designers to allow for a high MTTR value and still
achieve the system reliability goals.
– Low MTTR requirement means high operational cost
for the system.
Benefits
– Product Improvement
– Planning maintenance
– Avoiding system failure
– Reduced Field Failures
– Reduced Warranty Costs
– Better Customer Relations
