Abstract: This article provides a generalized framework for selection of time-to-failure model based on the assessment of trends in failure and repair time data. This framework is based on modifications of existing frameworks and can be applied for binary as well as multi-state systems. The proposed framework is applied for reliability analysis of a computerized numerical control turning center. For analysis purpose, the failure data are collected for 50 computerized numerical control turning center over a period of 7 years for three different working conditions, that is, when machining material is steel, aluminum and cast iron. The data collected are then processed using the proposed framework and the best-fit distribution is found for the time-to-failure data. Furthermore, the reliable life and reliabilities of the different sub-systems are estimated. From the analysis, it is found that spindle system, computerized numerical control system, electrical and electronic system, hydraulic system and cooling system are found to be critical from reliability and maintainability point of view. The analysis presented here is expected to help the users and manufacturers of computerized numerical control turning center to estimate the reliability in accurate manner.
