On the Comparison between the Reliability of Units Produced by Different Production Lines

20233 citationsOpen accessBritish University in Egypt

Abstract

Abstract The paper discusses how to evaluate the reliability of units produced by different production lines. The procedure is based on selecting independent random samples of units produced by different production lines and then evaluating reliability functions for each group of units. The comparison between these reliability functions at a given time allows manufacturing experts to evaluate the effectiveness of production lines. A statistical methodology has been taken based on the assumption that the lifetime of units produced by each product line has a Weibull Gamma distribution. Then, real‐world data are used to illustrate the study's contribution to reliability theory applications.
