Abstract

The probability that a machine will be available when called upon to perform a function and how the failure rate, time to repair, time before failure have in forming a statistical distribution that is used to determine the machine availability and in order to get the overall view of the equipment function during a given period, therefor; tracking the maintenance data log of the company’s equipment becomes imperative. The “Weibull analysis" was used to analyze the data and the equipment being considered is predominantly mechanical machine tear and wears. The Weibull distribution revealed that all the plots formed approximately a straight line which indicates that the Weibull distribution is well distributed. Hence, it can be concluded that the model is valid.
