What do you see in a ‘Probability’ Plot?

podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson

Some of you might have heard about probability plots like Weibull plots. Some of you might not. A Weibull plot is a really useful way of quickly looking' at data and being able to see' really useful things. This could be seeing that a system’s failure rate is decreasing over time which usually means there are manufacturing defects. It could be seeing that the rate of failure of a system is increasing over time which means the system is accumulating damage or wearing out. And lots of other things. So, let's look at a different sort of probability' plot and see what we can work out from it. And that means working out what we need to do to improve reliability. Join this webinar if you want to learn how to see really useful things in lines that you might not have appreciated in the past.

This Accendo Reliability webinar was originally broadcast on 23 August 2022.
