Actually I fully appressiate for your Excell sheet
When we want to calculate MTBF for equipment and component
different authors but different type for calculation as follows :-
1 - Heinz bloch :- put No of equipment failed as guide line to calculate MTBF and failure rate.
2 - William forsthoffer :-
Put running time of equipment as guide line to calculate MTBF.
3 - there is statistical analysis done. To determine running time.
4 - take running time as guide line for determine actual MTBF
Our question is as follows :-
Which one of four methods are more accurate than other, ??
After calculate MTBF by your method is there reference tables to make bench marking for improving issue?.
Is your calculation applied for any mechanical equipment like pumps, and it's component.?
Thanks in advance for your support and valuable Excell sheet you did
Warm regards
