Hi,
I am currently trying to calculate the reliability for a certain system. I have obtained the formula for a series system (which is what I have), but how do you calculate the reliability for each individual component within the system?
Also, I have obtained several MTBF figures for several components. Given these numbers is there a way to calculate a MTBF for the system as a whole?
It needs to be proven that this system will last for 10 years with little or no preventative maintanence. If I have this correct calculating the reliability will give me the probability the the system will operate correctly and the MTBF will give the average hours before it fails.
I basically need some direction on how determine system reliabiliy or MTBF. Any help will do!
Thanks,
