Here in my plant I have one reactor system with 13 reactor. Each reactor has 576 filter bags. I have three different suppliers of filter bags. I'd like to know what is the supplier has the best filter bags?
The data that I have been registering in database are in the following way:
I Know how many filter bags failed per supplier and which date failed, but I don't know who failed of the 576 filter bags.
My doubt is: What data type do I have?, How do I put this data in Weibull 6?

Per your statement:
“I Know how many filter bags failed per supplier and which date failed, but I don't know who failed of the 576 filter bags.”

I am assuming form the above statement that you know
(1) how many bags belong to each supplier
(2) date the bags failed (and what supplier they came from)

Using that, and for each supplier, the data would be time-to-failure for the bag along with time-to-suspensions (right censored) for the non-failed bags.

I interpret the same statement to mean that you know which lot date (code?) failed (a group) but don't know the individual start and stop times. From this, you may be able to assign estimated failure and suspension times to groups of filters instead of individuals.
