Using these techniques, companies can distinguish between
processing problems and reliability issues
In this case history, a major chemical company successfully uses
the Weibull techniques to answer these questions:
Is the problem a reliability problem or a production
issue?
What is the demonstrated capacity of the plant?
What are efficiency/utilization losses costing the
facility?
What is the reliability of the process plant?
By applying the Weibull technique, this company defines a
strategic course of action based on quantification of process
reliability. This tool when added to its reliability improvement
arsenal will help any company optimize availability of its products
to its customers and maximize profits to its stakeholders.
