Concurrent Engineering Example: A washing machine to last for ten years in normal use.

Concurrent Engineering Example: A washing machine to last for ten years in normal use. Expected typical household use: three times a week for a wash cycle that will last for 2 hours on average. What type of test should be used? How long must the machine survive during the test? Total hours life required for the machine is: 2 hours/wash x 3 washes/week x 52 weeks/year x 10 years = 3120 hours Use a quantitative accelerated test. Run the machine constantly for 3120 hours

Concurrent Engineering Sample Paper: HL Explain why accelerated testing is used on some products. Some products have a long life – need to test reliability – quantify life of product - warranty A washing machine will be used for two hours per day, three days per week in normal use. What type of accelerated testing will determine the lifetime of the washing machine? Quantitative test – data is used to determine expected normal life time of product During testing, the washing machine ran for 3000 operating hours before failing. Recommend a suitable guarantee period for the washing machine and give reasons for your recommendation. 2 hrs/day x 3 days/week = 6 hrs/week 3000/6 = 566. 67 weeks 566. 67/52 = 10. 8975 Guarantee period = 10 years.
