Visualization is the foundation for human to understand as human think and create in a graphic world. By nature, maintenance activity is a multi discipline approach, where maintenance engineer should be able to convey their idea to people with various backgrounds. In this situation, visualization is a powerful mode; it can act as a bridge to eliminate the knowledge gap within the group. Knight (2001) developed Jack-knife diagram for visualizing total downtime and factors influencing the failure (failure frequency and mean downtime) in a point estimation. As failure data is a probabilistic in nature, it is important to look not only point estimation but also interval estimation, so the precision and uncertainty of estimation can be identified. This paper proposes a way of visualizing total downtime and factors influencing the failure (failure frequency and mean downtime) in interval estimation. Case study from scaling machines is used for illustration.
