Mean Time to Failure (MTTF)
Maintenance definition:
MTTF is a basic measure of reliability for non-repairable systems, representing the average time expected before a system or component fails. It's used to predict the lifespan of a product or component in the design phase, helping manufacturers and engineers to estimate and enhance product reliability. MTTF is crucial for planning preventive maintenance and for making informed decisions about spare parts inventory and replacement strategies.
