What Does MTBF Stand For?
MTBF stands for Mean Time Between Failures
MTBF, or Mean Time Between Failures, is a quantitative measure used in reliability engineering that represents the expected time between inherent failures of a system during operation. It is calculated by dividing the total operational time by the number of failures that occur, providing insights into the reliability and maintenance needs of equipment. A higher MTBF indicates better reliability, helping organizations optimize performance and reduce downtime.
