Question: A loader has the following breakdown data, Breakdown # Breakdown time Repair Starts Repair Ends 1 3 5 9 3 8 3 4 0 6

A loader has the following breakdown data,
Breakdown # Breakdown time Repair Starts Repair Ends
1359383406
2883913970
3176917971830
4260926332686
5293929503000
6331433283348
Calculate the following:
a. Mean time to repair
b. Mean time to Failure Method (assuming an unrepairable system)
c. Uptime Method
d. What is the failure rate of loader as defined by MTBF method?
e. Based on the data only, what is the reliability, i.e. the probability that the machine does not breakdown within 150 hours
f. Based on the data only, what number would you use if you are trying to determine how long the machine would work without breaking down with a probability of 90%
g. Assuming an exponential distribution and that the MTBF calculated above is the correct number, what would be the result of part f above
h. Assuming that the MTBF follows a standard normal distribution, and that the MTBF calculated from the data above is the correct number what would be the result of part f above
i. If the machine annual cost to own, operate and maintain is 40,000 USD per year and under full working time conditions the machine works 1800 hr per year
