A car company is interpreting the field data.

Note that each individual car has a ca ID, e.g. car01, car02, etc. Note that each individual tire has an individual SN (SN is the abbreviation from serial number), e.g. T01, T02, etc. Note that each computer installed has an individual serial number, e.g. C01, C02, etc.

Any computer failure induces a down-time: failure investigating, computer removal, supplier failure investigation, failure fix, re-certification, shipment, re-installation. It is considered that, after failure, a computer is fixed and reinstalled on the same car. Each computer failure induced a down-time, measured in hours, given in the table below. Any tire failure induces an average down-time of 2h. In this context, the down-time (computer or tire induced) should be understood as lost operating time (car could have been operated for the down-time). A computer failure costs 2,500$ and a tire replacement is 350$. The company has a contractual cost target of 0.03$/km and car MTBF (all failures) target of 30.000km.

Data is presented in the Assignment MTTF MTBF Availability Cost - data input.xlsx file. Data is provided per year quarter. Notation 2017Q1 stands for first quarter, first 3 months of 2017 (January, February, March). # stands for number of, e.g. # of tire failures means number of tire failures.

Requirements (see all pages!):

Compute and interpret the results.

for computer:

1. MTTF (to first failure) computed in km

2. MTBF (after the first failure) computed in km

3. MTBF (all failures included) computed in km

4. 12 month moving average (all failures) at the end of the quarter

Note: A regular 12-month average reduces a year of monthly figures into a single average number. A 12-month rolling average, or moving average, is simply a series of 12-month averages over multiple consecutive 12-month periods. This statistical tool can help you gauge the overall direction of a series of monthly data, because it smooths out the effects of month-to-month changes. You can use a 12-month rolling average to analyze almost any type of monthly numbers, such as revenues, profits, stock prices or account balances.

5. Availability (all failures included)

for tires:

6. MTTF

7. 12m moving average at the end of the quarter

8. Availability

for car:

9. MTBF (in km and in h)

10. 12-month MTBF (in km) moving average (MTBF includes all failures) at the end of the quarter

11. 12-month moving average cost per km at the end of the quarter

12. average cost per km

13. average cost per h

14. Availability (all failures included)
