Estimation of the Effects of a Ship's Steaming on the Failure Rate of Its Equipment: An Application of Econometric Analysis.

Abstract

Regression analysis is used to estimate the effects of a ship's steaming on the failure rate of its equipment, holding constant the effects of other factors such as a ship's class, fleet, time since overhaul, and point in the deployment cycle. Equipment failures are measured with data on 14,000 CASREPTs for destroyer-type ships in 1970-75. It is widely thought that steaming would increase the number of equipment failures because of more wearout. However, we find the failure rate of equipment seems to decrease with steaming in the long run. (Author)
