Introduction to Weibull Solution Methods PD530946ON

Topics: Quality, Safety & Maintenance Failure modes and effects analysis

Weibull Analysis is the starting point for solving most issues related to product reliability, maintainability, supportability, quality, safety, test planning, and cost control. Weibull Analysis is popular worldwide as the best method for modeling and predicting variability and failure of designs, products, and systems. Instructor Wes Fulton will provide a solid overview of Weibull Solution Methods including an explanation of 16 additional Weibull Analysis capabilities, or Weibull Extensions. This introductory short course should be considered a prerequisite for participation in a Weibull project or for attending additional SAE training that covers advanced Weibull applications.

Objectives

By participating in this eLearning course, you'll be able to:

  • Determine whether or not the available data is appropriate for a Weibull solution
  • Discuss the background and explain the benefits of Weibull solution methods
  • Create, interpret and evaluate the correctness of a Weibull plot
  • Distinguish between an infant mortality failure issue and a wearout failure issue
  • Forecast events under different maintenance strategies
  • Determine pass/fail criteria in designing a test program
  • Explain 16 additional Weibull analysis capabilities, called Weibull Extensions and locate additional resources
