Failure Finding Interval (FFI)
Maintenance definition:
Failure Finding Interval (FFI) is the time period within which hidden failures or conditions are identified through inspection or monitoring. FFI is critical for maintenance strategies that rely on periodic checks to uncover failures that do not have obvious symptoms but could lead to system degradation or unsafe conditions. Optimizing FFI is important for ensuring reliability and safety without incurring unnecessary maintenance costs.
