Resumen de Spreadsheet for teaching weibull statistical distribution fitting in maintenance engineering

V. Bermúdez, B. Tormos, P. Olmeda, J. Martín

• In this paper the implementation of a distribution fitting using Excel spreadsheets is described. The implemented spreadsheet uses the definition of names, different formulae and the Add-in solver. An important advantage is the way in which the optimum location parameter is found. The usefulness of the sheet is guaranteed by its simplicity; in fact, it has been used satisfactorily by maintenance engineering students.
