WinSMITH Weibull Software, Version 4.0
Operates on Windows 95, 98, NT, XP, and Windows 2000.
$ 580

WinSMITH Weibull makes probability plots, reliability calculations, and much more. WinSMITH Weibull (WSW) software for Windows performs all of the Weibull techniques in the NWH. WSW contains results of independent research with several methods developed by Dr. Abernethy in Cooperation with Fulton Findings. Many of these techniques are not available elsewhere such as likelihood ratio confidence, simplified design (set) comparison, Kaplan-Meier simulation and solution, critical correlation coefficient, sudden-death WeiBayes, parameter as a function of engineering variable, etc. WinSMITH Weibull for Windows uses Weibull, Normal, Log-normal equations or Gumbel distributions and replaces DOS programs such as WeibullSMITH (previously the leading Weibull analysis software), BiWeibullSMITH, and MonteCarloSMITH. WSW can now also analyze bi-weibull data sets.

WinSMITH Visual Scientific Plotting Software
Companion support software for WinSMITH Weibul
Operates on Windows 95, 98, NT, XP, and Windows 2000
$ 480

WinSMITH Visual version 4.0 (WSV) is a Windows-based scientific plotting software which acts as a plotting engine for the WinSMITH Weibull software. WinSMITH Visual assists in analyzing data used for making reliability improvements. WinSMITH Visual operates in a Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows XP, and Windows 2000 operating environment. Price list for the software also provide for volume discounts. Version 4.0 is available as a CD in 32-bit format which allow long file names and run on Windows 95 through Windows NT and Windows 2000 with easier use with LAN printers. WinSMITH Visual also makes Crow/AMSAA (formerly called Duane/AMSAA) reliability growth curves and with one click of an icon transforms the cumulative failure data into cumulative MTBF.

Play-Time Tutorial Workbook

The New Weibull Handbook, 4th Edition
Robert B. Abernethy, Ph.D.
2000, 308 pages, flexible comb binding, figures, tables, references, 8 ½ x 11"

$ 98

Weibull analysis is the world's most popular method of analyzing and predicting failures and malfunctions of all types. The analysis methods in this book provide the quantitative information needed for making RCM decisions which are often made from a qualitative approach. Weibull failure predictions are accurate even with very small samples of data. Weibull analysis calculates optimal parts replacement intervals for minimizing cost, and is needed for making risk based inspection decisions to take action or defer action on potential failures. Crow-AMSAA charts, a different use of Weibull analysis, predict future failures, analyze R&D testing, track fleets of repairable systems, and provide the most accurate trending of significant events for management. Both techniques may show either events or cost analysis. Crow-AMSAA numbers tell if failure rates are increasing, decreasing, or staying the same with time. Crow-AMSAA plots are also useful for forecasting safety issues concerning future safety incidents, spills, and other controllable events.
