Predicted Failures

Description: Returns the expected number of failures if all of the suspensions in the current data source operate for a specified additional amount of time. For example, if the data sheet contains 20 units suspended at 100 hour and you enter 100 for Time, the function returns the expected number of failures (repairs) when those 20 units continue operating from 100 to 200 hours. Not available for stress-dependent models.

Field Format: [EFAILURESS(Source Number)(Time)]

Source Number is the associated data source number.
Time is the additional time of operation of the suspensions (in addition to the current age of each suspension).

Remarks:

The Source Number must be either 1, 2, 3 or 4.

The Time value must be greater than 0.

Example:

[EFAILURESS(1)(100)]

Returns:

Note that this value will vary depending on the source data set.
