Optimal Design of

Fluctuation under
Truncated and Discrete
Weibull Distribution
9.1 Overview
e fluctuation of equipment availability is affected by its own reliability, main-
tainability, supportability (RMS) characteristics, which are in turn affected by
multiple factors occurring in the equipment’s real use, maintenance, and support.
To facilitate our study, this chapter assumes that all the time variables following
the truncated and discrete Weibull distribution, and that the influencing factors
for the system failure rate, repair rate, and logistic delay rate are shape param-
eter and scale parameter under ...
