Subject: Estimating defect density for ESS
Message:
I'd like to use MIL-HDBK-344 procedures to: 1) Estimate an equipment's defect density. I have extracted data from the reliability prediction to estimate the defect density but I am struggling with the final result because I can't make sense out of the examples in the handbook. In the MIL-HDBK-344A example on page 5-14, the part quantities of section 9 do not add up to the total # of parts in section 11. Perhaps this is why I can't determine how they arrived at the numbers in sections 2, 3 and 4. In the Litton Systems/Rome Lab document ADA245735, I tried to use the data in Figure 2.8 to arrive at the 2.95 value in Table 2.1 for the ML environment, but again I was unsuccessful. Any helpful suggestions or references that can help with the estimation of defect density would be much appreciated.
