Weibull Plot
Weibull Distribution
A statistical approach, using graphical
plots of the time-to-failure. A family of distributions that evaluates a
design and is used to deduce the percentage of failures of a design’s
population for a given time all the way through a design's life
expectancies.
The distributions typically use the
formula of…
You can make predictions using a Weibull
Probability Distribution, but it can be cumbersome, and the predictions
are usually plotted on Weibull probability
paper, but to make a valid Weibull plot, at least seven points are
needed. Any fewer can cast doubt on the ability of a plot to see any
underlying pattern of variation.
A plot could look like the following.
The example below is from the Dale H.
Besterfield, Ph.D. book, Quality
Control Sixth Edition, that includes a CD of Excel macros.
