摘要

In the disc drive industry annual failure rate (AFR) has important role in making business decisions. AFR can be defined as the failure probability for one year power-on operations estimated from the data generated by reliability demonstration tests (RDTs). Using AFR the manufacturer decides on the warranty cost and some other business decisions. Thus the AFR estimate has to be as accurate as possible. Due to limited sample size short duration of tests, it may be difficult to make such accurate estimations. Thus, the confidence intervals of AFR with Weibull distribution application are often carried out to see that it is too wide. Therefore, the upper bound is used as an estimate to avoid under estimation. Since the confidence intervals are too large, business decisions based on them will be erroneous. Thus there is a need for closer upper bounds for AFR so that the estimate used will be more reliable. Increasing the sample size to achieve this goal is cost prohibitive. The use of large quantity of historical data to gain the prior knowledge about actual product failure in the field couple with the test generated estimates can improve the estimation by dampening the inaccuracy in the test data. To enable this, the study proposes a Bayesian posterior analysis approach for AFR estimate. In this process, prior distributions of Weibull distribution parameters are estimated from historical data Statistical models of the AFR posterior estimate and its confidence intervals are derived. This is shown to be narrowing down the posterior confidence interval. (9 refs.)
