What is MTBF?
MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) is a statistical value that describes the average operating time of systems and assemblies between two failures.
It applies over the product’s operational lifespan, excluding early-life and wear-out failures, and refers to all units in the field.
Why is MTBF so important?
- Spare Parts Management:
Use MTBF data to efficiently plan inventory and replacement cycles for spare units. - Warranty & Cost Control:
MTBF values help estimate potential warranty claims and keep costs under control. - Certification & Safety:
A high MTBF is often essential for safety-relevant certifications – for example, in the railway industry. - Reality Check:
We support you in validating calculated MTBF values against real-world field data.
How we support you
Whether you need a full MTBF analysis or independent expert advice – you decide what’s right for you.
We guide you through the entire process on request: from initial consultation and selection of the appropriate calculation standard to MTBF analysis at component level, and well-founded interpretation of the results. If desired, we also provide concrete recommendations for action to improve reliability.
