In this article, we present a new statistical modification of the Weibull model for updating the flexibility, called the generalized Weibull-Weibull distribution. The new modification of the Weibull model is defined and studied in detail. Some mathematical and statistical functions are studied, such as the quantile function, moments, the information generating measure, the Shannon entropy and the information energy. The joint distribution functions of the two marginal univariate models via the Copula model are provided. The unknown parameters are estimated using the maximum likelihood method and Bayesian method via Monte Carlo simulations. The Bayesian approach is discussed using three different loss functions: the quadratic error loss function, the LINEX loss function, and the general entropy loss function. We perform some numerical simulations to show how interesting the theoretical results are. Finally, the practical application of the proposed model is illustrated by analyzing two applications in the actuarial and engineering fields using corporate data to show the elasticity and advantage of the proposed generalized Weibull-Weibull model. The practical applications show that proposed model is very suitable for modeling actuarial and technical data sets and other related fields.
