Formula Breakdown

MTTR Formula

MTTR = Total Repair Hours / Number of Failures

Represents the average time required to restore equipment after a failure. Lower values indicate faster repairs and better maintenance efficiency.

MTBF Formula

MTBF = Total Operating Hours / Number of Failures

Measures equipment reliability by showing the average time between failures. Higher values indicate more reliable equipment.

Availability Formula

Availability (%) = MTBF / (MTBF + MTTR) × 100

Shows the percentage of time equipment is operational. Critical systems typically target 99%+ availability, which translates to less than 3.65 hours of downtime per year.
