1.) Product A has an MTBF of 700 hours and an MTTR of 120 hours. Product B has
an MTBF of 1000 hours and an MTTR of 180 hours. Based on system
availability which product should we choose?
MTBF/(MTBF+MTTR) = A
2.) What is the major difference between tradition product design and concurrent
product design?
Concurrent decentralized, improved quality, done in parallel
