MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures)

The average time between equipment breakdowns, indicating reliability.

MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) indicates how reliable a machine is. Higher MTBF means fewer breakdowns.

Formula

MTBF = Total Operating Time / Number of Failures

Example

If a CNC machine ran for 500 hours last month and failed 5 times, MTBF = 500 / 5 = 100 hours. On average, the machine runs 100 hours before a failure.
