Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) is a Japanese management philosophy used to increase time between failure or life of machinery. MTBF represents a statistical approximation of how long a piece of equipment should last before failure. During the lifespan MTBF numbers improve and failures become rarer, as early failure equipment has been repaired or replaced. MTBF numbers help determine when equipment should be repaired.
