By investigating a sample (n=70) of petroleum refineries located in the United States during the five-year period, 1993-97, a statistically significant (p=.01) relationship between resource availability and reliability as indicated by the incidence of accidental hazardous substance releases (RQs) was identified. Tight coupling may not be just a requirement of a manufacturing process, but may result from managerial decisions based upon budgetary factors and stresses.","PeriodicalId":395613,"journal":{"name":"Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium. 2002 Proceedings (Cat.

The application of SAMOW to 1:1 system redundancy, which is common in the networking industry, is the focus of this study. The end-to-end availability is modeled and computed based on the corresponding signaling path and bearer path since the paths can transverse through different component systems. It is observed that SAMOW is very accurate (compared with the Markov model) when applied to 1:1 redundant systems under various system parameter sets with high switchover coverage.","PeriodicalId":395613,"journal":{"name":"Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium. 2002 Proceedings (Cat.

High and low points, good ideas and mistakes, sincere enthusiasm and fatigue, rigorous approaches and fads; we find these not only in art, culture and politics, but also in the world of engineering. It's always the same story, ever since the Tower of Babel: we are driven by ambition and pride. Many works of literature have lived for centuries and millennia: Homer, Dante Alighieri, Shakespeare and many others have spoken to us in a universal way. Their stories seem fresh and modem, because humankind is always the same, unable to understand and learn from errors. So we can always find similarities, for example between the Odyssey and the story of our field. Illusions, monsters, storms, errors and hope woven together.","PeriodicalId":395613,"journal":{"name":"Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium. 2002 Proceedings (Cat.

Refrigerator failure early prediction based on warranty data 基于保修数据的冰箱故障早期预测

{"title":"Refrigerator failure early prediction based on warranty data","authors":"Ke-ning Liu","doi":"10.1109/RAMS.2002.981641","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/RAMS.2002.981641","url":null,"abstract":"This paper provides a method to predict the failure characteristics of refrigerator components based on the early warranty return data from the field (suspended data). The predication will be used to support the management decision of actions. Very commonly, the company doesn't (or has no capability to) record each unit purchase date by the end customers (not by OEM), but does record all units' manufacture dates and returned units' purchase dates for the warranty claims purpose. This makes it difficult for the analyst to estimate how many units are currently used in the field, which is required in order to do a suspended data analysis. This paper chooses a 'sample population' from warranty claim database and uses Weibull distribution to describe the time duration between the manufacture dates and end customer purchase dates for the units in the sample population. Then, assuming this time duration distribution representing the time duration distribution of the 'objective population', and using integration function described in this paper, how many units of objective population are currently used in the field can be estimated. This makes the reliability prediction possible (by processing the field suspended data). An example is used to demonstrate the method.","PeriodicalId":395613,"journal":{"name":"Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium. 2002 Proceedings (Cat.

Plausible reasoning theory in reliability-centered maintenance analysis 以可靠性为中心的维修分析中的似然推理理论
D. C. Johnston
{"title":"Plausible reasoning theory in reliability-centered maintenance analysis","authors":"D. C. Johnston","doi":"10.1109/RAMS.2002.981669","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/RAMS.2002.981669","url":null,"abstract":"Reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) is a powerful method for choosing optimal maintenance tactics. By itself, though, the method misses opportunities to deploy expert-level knowledge to the maintenance people performing the analysis. Existing software approaches that attempt to fill this gap, such as expert systems, have numerous drawbacks and in some cases can be detrimental, causing the user to develop a false sense of security. Plausible reasoning theory suggests ways that evidence can be gathered and used efficiently to draw conclusions about maintenance tactics. In conjunction, Bayesian belief networks can be used to capture in software the reasoning strategy suggested by plausible reasoning theory. The author created prototype software using these theories and approaches. The resulting software represents a model of RCM logic and allows the user to work with the model to produce effective results. During the entire analysis process, the user can see instantly the effect that various inputs have on the resulting recommendations. Users are able to pursue the most promising paths of reasoning, arriving at the best RCM solution quickly.","PeriodicalId":395613,"journal":{"name":"Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium. 2002 Proceedings (Cat.

First, the characteristics of the fitting plots determined by these models on the Weibull plotting paper (WPP) are analyzed. Then, the appropriateness for the models being applied to fitting given failure data is described. For each of the two kinds of models' formulas, parameter estimates are discussed based on the plots on WPP. Finally, an example with real-data illustrates their application. The models presented in this paper can provide flexibility in fitting and explaining failure data. They are more appropriate to be applied to analyzing complex data than models with two Weibull distributions or a mixture of them. For getting numerical estimates of model parameters, the maximum likelihood estimation method can be applied.","PeriodicalId":395613,"journal":{"name":"Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium. 2002 Proceedings (Cat.

It is generally agreed that internal auditors are the best source of identifying nonconformities within a system. Changes to the standard have resulted in more challenges for the auditors, but with these challenges come opportunities for improvement. ISO 9001 has been restructured as a set of four major processes: (1) management responsibility, (2) resource management, (3) product realization and (4) measurement, analysis and improvement. A fifth element covers general requirements. The restructuring is a major challenge to the auditors because they are used to auditing the 20 elements of the 1994 version of ISO 9001. There are 8 themes in the standard, which present challenges to the auditor. These are: (1) understanding and applying the eight quality principles, (2) auditing undocumented processes, (3) following the process approach, (4) focusing on the customer, (5) identifying and using measurable objectives, (6) analysis and use of data, (7) assessing competence needs of the organization, and (8) using the improvement loop to enhance quality. The internal auditor should help the organization understand these themes and identify where compliance to ISO 9001 will enhance the value to the organization of its quality management system.","PeriodicalId":395613,"journal":{"name":"Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium. 2002 Proceedings (Cat.
